Popis: Background This study compares outcomes of conventional and less-invasive (LI) approaches for aortic valve replacement (AVR) using The Society of Thoracic Surgeons database. Methods Between 2011 and 2017, we identified 122,474 patients undergoing isolated primary AVR. Patients were categorized into 3 groups: (1) full sternotomy (FS) (n = 98,549; 78%), (2) partial sternotomy (PS) (n = 17,306; 15%), and (3) right thoracotomy (RT) (n = 6619; 7%). Results The rate of LI-AVR increased from 17% in 2011 to 23% in 2016 (P Conclusions Less-invasive AVR is associated with an operative mortality and postoperative stroke rate similar to that of FS. Less-invasive AVRs should serve as a benchmark for comparison between transcatheter aortic valve replacement and surgical AVR in low-risk patients.
