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.

Challenges with re-accessing the coronaries after TAVI

In this short video Guiseppe Tarantini (Italy) summarises some of the challenges associated with repeat coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). What is the prevalence of coronary artery disease in patients who have undergone TAVI? What proportion of patients...
