High-risk sAVR had older patients compared to lowrisk sAVR group (80.6±3.8 v 79±3 v, p = 0.001) with higher mortality at 30 days (8.4% v 2%) and 1 year (14% v 6%). Conclusion: sAVR is ideal for low-risk patients. TAVI is safer for older patients with higher clinical risk.
Conclusion: Despite the significantly higher radiation and fluoroscopy used in complex PCI, operator exposure was not significantly higher. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2015.06.444
