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.

PCR STATEMENT on the 2-year clinical outcomes from the Evolut low risk trial

18 May 2021

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) offers an effective, less invasive therapeutic alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis. Although TAVI is demonstrated to be superior to medical therapy or surgery in patients who are at prohibitive or high risk for...

Impact of anesthesia strategy and valve type on clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

07 May 2021

The current analysis aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of the Edwards Sapien S3 and Medtronic Corevalve. Furthermore, conscious sedation (CS) and local anaesthesia have been reported to reduce adverse events compared to general anaesthesia (GA) in several observational studies, with a lack of randomised...

Prognostic implications of cardiac damage classification based on computed tomography in severe aortic stenosis

03 May 2021

In the PARTNER II trial, a new staging system of extra-aortic valvular cardiac damage is proposed, using 2 D transthoracic echocardiography and its prognostic value. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of such extra-aortic cardiac damage using MDCT in patients undergoing...
