    This study evaluates early aortic valve replacement (AVR) versus clinical surveillance in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis.

  • 2

    Eight studies involving 3,086 patients were included, with 1,539 undergoing early AVR, showing significant reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events.

  • 3

    Early AVR was associated with lower all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality compared to clinical surveillance.

  • 4

    Major vascular bleeding occurred more frequently in the early AVR group, while risks of myocardial infarction and stroke were similar between groups.

  • 5

    The findings suggest a need for individualized approaches to the timing of intervention in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients.
