TAVR and SAVR in ESRD: Just because we can doesn't necessarily mean that we should.

In patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis, TAVR resulted in reduced length of stay, hospitalization cost, complication rate and higher rates of home discharge compared to SAVR. In-hospital mortality and complication rates were high in both groups. Careful patient selection and further research is required to identify patients with end-stage renal disease who might, or might not, benefit from intervention.
