Heart valve showdown: which replacement is best for seniors?
NCT ID NCT03383445
Summary
This study compares two ways to replace a narrowed heart valve in elderly patients with a small aortic opening. It randomly assigns 300 patients to either traditional open-heart surgery (SAVR) or a less invasive catheter-based procedure (TAVR). The goal is to see which method leads to better valve performance and fewer complications like death, stroke, or major bleeding.
