Description
Van Niekerk and co-authors use a Dutch heart registry to compare two ways to replace a worn aortic valve in younger patients who had prior heart surgery, in a 2026 study. One route goes through a vessel with a catheter, the other is open surgery. Prior surgery shapes both the choice and long-term results.
They analyze 1,284 patients aged fifty to seventy-five treated from 2015 to 2020. Models identify what drove the treatment choice and how outcomes played out over time. The registry base gives a real-world view across Dutch centers. Readers get a profile of who receives each route and what follows, which can inform shared decisions in this group.
