Outcomes of surgical AVR were summarized from the STS Cardiac Surgery Database 2002-2010 to establish contemporary data for different surgical risk groups (low 8% risk). 80% were low risk, 6% were high risk. Hospital mortality was lower than predicted by STS PROM for all groups (low: 1.4$ vs 1.7%; intermediate 5.1% vs 5.5%; high 11.8% vs 13.7%).
