Aortic stenosis affects more than 9 million people worldwide and is commonly treated with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), which is known for producing excellent long-term outcomes. Recent advancements in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have shown noninferior or improved outcomes compared to SAVR across various risk levels.
