Summary

Consult this session on aortic valve disease to learn more about the impact of the latest evidence concerning TAVI vs. SAVR on Heart Team discussions and patient choice (clinical and anatomical characteristics, redistribution of resources and training...), and discover how you and your colleagues can apply this information in daily clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

  • To appreciate the impact of the latest evidence concerning TAVI vs. SAVR on Heart Team discussions and patient choice
  • To consider unresolved questions and the implications for future planning and resource allocation
  • To understand how you and your colleagues can apply this information in daily clinical practice

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Challenge 1: clinical and anatomical characteristics (rather than surgical risk estimation) now drive the choice between TAVI and SAVR
  • Challenge 2: redistribution of resources and training are rapidly required to deliver the workload
