Early Surgery for Patients With Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2016
Many cardiologists are convinced that early surgery in asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) saves lives. However there is currently no direct evidence for this and most recommendations from the ESC/ EACTS or ACC/ AHA in this field are supported by Level-B or C evidence. Therefore, the investigators designed a randomized controlled trial to demonstrate whether early surgery improves mortality and morbidity of patients with asymptomatic severe AS and low operative risk.
