Table 2

Comparison of factors used in SAVR and TAVR risk scores [28, 30].

	STS score	EuroSCORE II	TAVI2SCORe
Peripheral vascular disease	Yes	Yes	No
Renal failure	Yes	Yes	Yes
Dialysis	Yes	No	No
Neurological dysfunction	Yes	Yes	No
Diabetes	Yes	No	No
Atrial fibrillation	Yes	No	No
COPD	Yes	Yes	No
NYHA class	Yes	Yes	No
LVEF	Yes	Yes	Yes
CAD	Yes	No	No
Pulmonary hypertension	No	Yes	No
Others			Porcelain thoracic aorta, recent myocardial infarction (within 90 days), anemia (<10 g/dl), male sex, critical aortic valve stenosis (mean gradient ≥70 mmHg), age (>85 years)

SAVR = surgical aortic valve replacement; TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; NYHA = New York Heart Association Class; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; CAD = coronary artery disease.
