Abstract

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is one of the most common surgeries performed in cardiac surgery operating rooms. Estimated prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS), a common indication for aortic valve replacement, is 1.48 % among those aged ≥ 55 years, suggesting 97,000 Australians living with severe AS in 2019. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) are 2 common approaches used for aortic valve replacement. Although TAVR is a relatively newer technique as compared to SAVR, it is slowly becoming new standard of care.
