2
General anesthesia + TEE monitoring
3
Median sternotomy
4
Cardiopulmonary bypass + aortic cross-clamp + cardioplegia

Sizing + implantation of mechanical or bioprosthetic valve
7
Weaning from bypass + protamine reversal
8
Sternal closure + ICU monitoring

What is SAVR?

Open surgical aortic valve replacement through median sternotomy on cardiopulmonary bypass. The gold standard for younger patients and those with concurrent cardiac pathology requiring combined surgery.

Why China?

  • Cost: $16,000-$25,000 vs. $60,000-$120,000 in the US
  • Combined procedures: SAVR + CABG or SAVR + mitral repair in single sitting
  • Durability: Mechanical valves available for younger patients (lifetime valve)

Who is a candidate?

  • Severe aortic stenosis in low-intermediate surgical risk
  • Age <65 (consider mechanical valve)
  • Bicuspid valve or complex anatomy unsuitable for TAVR

Outcomes

Operative mortality: 1-3%. 10-year survival: 70-80%. Bioprosthetic valve durability: 15-20 years.
