Overview

Understanding aortic stenosis.

Aortic stenosis is the narrowing of the aortic valve, restricting blood flow from the heart to the body. It is the most common valvular heart disease in adults, affecting approximately 2-4% of people over age 65. As the valve narrows, the heart must work harder to pump blood, eventually leading to heart failure if untreated.

Why It Matters

Why you need a second opinion.

The decision between TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) and SAVR (surgical aortic valve replacement) is one of the most consequential in cardiac surgery. Age, anatomy, comorbidities, and surgeon expertise all influence which approach is optimal. Many patients are offered only one option without a complete evaluation of both.

Critical Decisions

Key decisions for aortic stenosis.

TAVR vs surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)
Timing of intervention: now vs watchful waiting
Mechanical vs bioprosthetic valve selection
Ross procedure candidacy for younger patients
Bicuspid valve considerations and aortopathy screening
Risk Factors

What affects your risk.

Age over 75 increases TAVR consideration
Bicuspid anatomy may favor surgical approach
Prior cardiac surgery affects access strategy
Coronary artery disease may require concomitant CABG
Frailty assessment changes risk-benefit calculus
