TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation)

Find all the latest content on TAVI published on this website.

TAVI, now an established, valid treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, has proven to be superior to medical treatment for inoperable patients whilst being a valid alternative to surgery in select, high-risk patients. This topic covers the newest devices and emerging data in TAVI as well as information on tools, devices and techniques such as vascular access; the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy; imaging techniques such as echocardiography, understanding bleeding risks or patient selection.

Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus repeat surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with a failed aortic bioprosthesis

24 Sep 2021

Structural valve deterioration remains the Achilles heel of both SAVR and TAVI. Since indications for TAVI have expanded to low-risk patients in 2019, this clinical scenario poses a significant conundrum for physicians and surgeons, as the number of patients undergoing aortic valve interventions continues to grow...
