- Study compares early surgery vs. conservative care for asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis over 10 years.
- Early surgery group had significantly lower operative mortality or cardiovascular death (3%) vs. conservative care (24%).
- At 10 years, cumulative incidence of primary endpoint was 1% (early surgery) vs. 19% (conservative care).
- All-cause mortality was lower in early surgery group (15%) compared to conservative care (32%).
- Early surgery is associated with better long-term outcomes in very severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
