CONCLUSIONS: Among patients in the EARLY TAVR trial, Class II indications for AVR were present in almost one-third of patients at baseline. The benefit of early TAVR was consistent regardless of the presence or absence of Class II indications. These findings support the strategy of early TAVR over CS in asymptomatic patients with severe AS,… →
