Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
10 Sep 2025
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease leading to intervention. It is characterized by progression from leaflet thickening and calcification to significant haemodynamic stenosis which results in disease-specific symptoms and physical limitations as well as poor prognosis and impaired quality of life if...
