welcomes you to the new, improved website!This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness of TAVR versus SAVR in 3110 intermediate-risk aortic stenosis patients from the PARTNER-2 trial. Using a Markov model, the authors found that TAVR is economically dominant from the perspective of lifetime cost-effectiveness in the US healthcare system. TAVR was estimated to save $8,000-$10,000 over the lifetime of the patient and to increase quality-adjusted survival by 0.15-0.27 years.
