Description
Jessan Jishu and co-authors compare surgical and catheter-based aortic valve replacement in patients aged sixty and under, using a national database. Younger patients face a long life with whichever valve they get, so the durability question looms larger than in the elderly. The study draws first-time cases across a twenty year span.
Their 2026 paper matches the two groups on age, sex, valve shape, and major illnesses, evening the field. After matching, death risk at one month stood level, but by one year the surgical group fared better, and the gap held at later marks. Cardiac outcomes are weighed beside the survival curves. The authors offer the numbers as counsel for a choice younger patients must live with longest.
