The authors evaluated the five-year outcomes in low-risk patients undergoing isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or SAVR with concomitant procedures within the randomized PARTNER 3 trial. In the PARTNER 3 trial, 454 patients with severe, symptomatic, tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS) underwent surgery and were followed for five years.
