TY - JOUR AU - Lv, Wen-Yu AU - Li, Shuang-Jiang AU - Chen, Mao PY - 2018 TI - Optimal mode of aortic valve replacement in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-which helps patients gain more benefit? JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, Supplement 3 (March 12, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CODP) is highly prevalent in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are candidates for aortic valve replacement. As patients with CODP is generally characterized as a high-risk population for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is preferred for these patients because it is considered less invasive. Therefore, there is often a relatively high proportion of COPD patients in large TAVR registries, ranging from 14% to 43% (1). However, whether COPD patients benefit more from TAVR than SAVR remain to be demonstrated by data from large sample size. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/25435
