Hence, the selection of patients for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) is changing. Thus, we aimed to study survival and causes of death following surgical AVR at a large Scandinavian Centre in the period 2012\u201321.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Information about the surgical procedure, survival and cause of death was obtained from the National Norwegian Health Registries.

Outcomes were excellent, with 30-day survival of 98.6% following AVR(b) and 99.8% following AVR(m). 1-year survival after AVR(b) improved from 96.4% in the first half to 98.4% in the second half of the study period, probably due to a reduction of operative risk during the study period. Non-cardiovascular mortality was the most frequent cause of death, followed by cancer, cardiovascular and valve-related death. Deaths due to cerebral bleeding or stroke were the least frequent with 10-year estimators of 1.3% and 1.6% following AVR(m) and AVR(b), respectively. The inter-rater reliability between The Norwegian Cause of Death Registry and the journal information provided was moderate, with an unweighted Cohen\u2019s kappa of 0.56 (0.47\u20130.64).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Valve-related death and death from cerebral bleeding or stroke was rare after surgical AVR.
