Overview
Once a patient with aortic stenosis becomes symptomatic, aortic valve replacement should be performed as long as the patient can tolerate surgery and has no co-morbidities. If severe left ventricular dysfunction is present in the setting of aortic stenosis, it is of utmost importance to differentiate between true severe aortic stenosis and pseudo-severe aortic stenosis as these two entities have different pathophysiologies and different outcomes after aortic valve replacement.[1] Medical therapy reduces symptoms but does not prolong life. If a patient has extensive co-morbidities, transcatheter aortic valve implantation can be considered. Aortic valvuloplasty can be considered in those patients who are too sick for surgery or transcatheter aortic valve implantation.[2]
General Approach
The general approach to treating Aortic Valve Stenosis has the following important aspects.[3]
- The normal aortic valve has an orifice area of 4 cm2. Aortic stenosis is a progressive pathology that becomes usually symptomatic when the area decreases to 1 cm2. Once symptomatic, the most effective treatment for aortic stenosis is aortic valve replacement. Almost all symptomatic patients should undergo aortic valve replacement. One important exception is in the case of severe aortic stenosis with ventricle dysfunction where extensive testing should be done to differentiate between true severe aortic stenosis and pseudo-severe aortic stenosis. Patients with true severe low flow low gradient aortic stenosis benefit from aortic valve replacement, whereas patients with pseudo-severe low flow low gradient aortic stenosis might not benefit from aortic valve replacement and have higher operative mortality.
- Asymptomatic patients should be followed up yearly for any new onset of symptoms. No treatment has been proven to delay the progression of aortic stenosis. Follow up with an echocardiography should be done every 1, 3, 5 years in severe, moderate and mild aortic stenosis respectively.[4]
- Patients undergoing aortic valve replacement and having co-existing multi-vessel coronary artery disease should have concomitantly CABG.[5]
Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the management of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis and the indications for AVR. If the patient does not meet any of the decision pathways in the algorithm, regular monitoring is recommended and AVR is not indicated.[5][6]

ESC/EACTS Guidelines
Indications for Intervention in Aortic Stenosis and Recommendations for the Choice of Intervention Mode[8]
Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis | Class of Recommendation | Level of Evidence |
---|---|---|
Intervention is indicated in symptomatic patients with severe, high-gradient aortic stenosis (mean gradient ≥ 40 mmHg or peak velocity ≥ 4.0 m/s)[9][10][11] | I | B |
Intervention is indicated in symptomatic patients with severe low-flow, low-gradient (< 40 mmHg) aortic stenosis with reduced ejection fraction and evidence of flow (contractile) reserve excluding pseudosevere aortic stenosis | I | C |
Intervention should be considered in symptomatic patients with low-flow, low-gradient (< 40 mmHg) aortic stenosis with normal ejection fraction after careful confirmation of severe aortic stenosisa | IIa | C |
Intervention should be considered in symptomatic patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis and reduced ejection fraction without flow (contractile) reserve, particularly when CT calcium scoring confirms severe aortic stenosis | IIa | C |
Intervention should not be performed in patients with severe comorbidities when the intervention is unlikely to improve quality of life or survival | III | C |
Choice of Intervention in Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis | ||
Aortic valve interventions should only be performed in centres with both departments of cardiology and cardiac surgery on site and with structured collaboration between the two, including a Heart Team (heart valve centres) | I | C |
The choice for intervention must be based on careful individual evaluation of technical suitability and weighing of risks and benefits of each modality. In addition, the local expertise and outcomes data for the given intervention must be taken into account | I | C |
SAVR is recommended in patients at low surgical risk (STS or EuroSCORE II < 4% or logistic EuroSCORE I < 10%b and no other risk factors not included in these scores, such as frailty, porcelain aorta, sequelae of chest radiation)[11] | I | B |
TAVI is recommended in patients who are not suitable for SAVR as assessed by the Heart Team[9][12] | I | B |
In patients who are at increased surgical risk (STS or EuroSCORE II ≥ 4% or logistic EuroSCORE I ≥ 10%b or other risk factors not included in these scores such as frailty, porcelain aorta, sequelae of chest radiation), the decision between SAVR and TAVR should be made by the Heart Team according to the individual patient characteristics, with TAVR being favored in elderly patients suitable for transfemoral access[9][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] | I | B |
Balloon aortic valvotomy may be considered as a bridge to SAVR or TAVR in hemodynamically unstable patients or in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who require urgent major non-cardiac surgery | IIb | C |
Balloon aortic valvotomy may be considered as a diagnostic means in patients with severe aortic stenosis or other potential causes for symptoms (i.e. lung disease) and in patients with severe myocardial dysfunction, pre-renal insufficiency, or other organ dysfunction that may be reversible with balloon aortic valvotomy when performed in centers that can escalate to TAVR | IIb | C |
Asymptomatic Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis (Refers Only to Patients Eligible for Surgical Valve Replacement) | ||
SAVR is indicated in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and systolic LV dysfunction (LVEF < 50%) not due to another cause | I | C |
SAVR is indicated in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and an abnormal exercise test showing symptoms on exercise clearly related to aortic stenosis | I | C |
SAVR should be considered in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and an abnormal exercise test showing a decrease in blood pressure below baseline | IIa | C |
SAVR should be considered in asymptomatic patients with normal ejection fraction and none of the above-mentioned exercise test abnormalities if the surgical risk is low and one of the following findings is present:
|
IIa | C |
Concomitant Aortic Valve Surgery at the Time of Other Cardiac/Ascending Aorta Surgery | ||
SAVR is indicated in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing CABG or surgery of the ascending aorta or of another valve | I | C |
SAVR should be considered in patients with moderate aortic stenosisc undergoing CABG or surgery of the ascending aorta or of another valve after Heart Team decision | IIa | C |
BNP = B-type natriuretic peptide; CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; CT = computed tomography; EuroSCORE = European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation; LV = left ventricular; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; SAVR = surgical aortic valve replacement; STS = Society of Thoracic Surgeons; TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement; Vmax = peak transvalvular velocity
