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.

ACTIVATION (percutAneous Coronary inTervention prIor to transcatheter aortic VAlve implantaTION): a randomized clinical trial

19 Oct 2021

In conducting the ACTIVATION trial, Redwood and colleagues seek to complement the existing literature with high-level evidence on whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to TAVR is non-inferior to conservative (no PCI) management.

PCR TV: Valve selection considerations for the Heart Team

11 Oct 2021

Which valve for which patient? The question is no longer just whether to choose a balloon-expandable or a self-expanding valve: low-risk indications, increasing number of TAVI procedures, and growing complexity of patients are leading the TAVI community to become more prescriptive and to take time to...
