See what Martin Leon from Columbia University said about it here.
“Surgery eventually catches up to TAVR in terms of functional recovery and quality of life, but it takes several months. TAVR is a less invasive procedure, so we expect an earlier return to normal daily activities compared with surgery.” –Martin Leon, professor of medicine, Columbia University Medical Center
