| Description: |
Background Since the introduction of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis has changed. Recent published European guidelines (2021) favours TAVI over surgical aortic valve replacements (SAVR) in patients with older age (≥75 years of age) or patients with high surgical risk. The study of nationwide practice patterns for AVR is important and renders the possibility to evaluate whether clinical practice differs from current guidelines. Purpose To evaluate temporal changes in use of isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) procedures according to age in the era of TAVI in Denmark. Methods We identified all first-time aortic valve replacement procedures (TAVI or SAVR) from 2008 until the end of 2020 through administrative registries in Denmark. Patients with no prior diagnosis of aortic stenosis at time of AVR were excluded. Patients with prior AVR or valve repair were excluded. SAVR was divided according to type of prostheses: surgical bioprostheses and mechanical prostheses. To evaluate changes according to age the study cohort was divided into two age groups: |
