Short- and Long-Term Outcomes After Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease: An Analysis From the German Aortic Valve Registry.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesData from the German Aortic Valve Registry (GARY) were analysed to determine whether there are differences between patients with and without chronic lung disease (CLD) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and whether TAVI or SAVR is more beneficial in patients with preexisting CLD.
methodsFollow-up data from GARY registry patients treated from 2014 to 2015 and from 2018 to 2019 were incorporated in the analysis. Demographic results for each of the 2 treatment modalities were evaluated, and patients with and without CLD were compared. In a second step, variables that would have influenced the treatment decision in CLD patients in direction of either SAVR or TAVI were accounted for in the adjusted analysis. This led to a subgroup of 1385 patients with CLD that was subjected to propensity score weighted analysis to compare outcomes of TAVI and SAVR.
resultsAfter exclusion, 11 457 SAVR patients and 2378 TAVI patients were analysed. CLD patients were sicker than patients without CLD, although the observed 30-day mortality was lower than expected by 3 risk scores. Accordingly, long-term survival in CLD patients was lower in both treatment groups than in patients without CLD. Thirty-day mortality was similar in the 2 treatment groups (SAVR 2.3%, TAVI 3.8%, P = .964) in spite of a possible selection bias in favour of SAVR. During a 5-year follow-up, survival after TAVI (44.6%) was significantly lower than after SAVR (56.7%), P = .029.
conclusionsPatients with CLD undergoing SAVR or TAVI are generally at higher risk for complications or death after the procedure than patients without CLD. After 5 years, patient-reported outcomes were similar in TAVI and in SAVR patients.
