Is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) Activity in Australia Consistent With International Guidelines?

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) did not receive regulatory approval in Australia until 2013, several years after Europe (2007) and America (2011). Consequently, the uptake of TAVI in Australia initially lagged behind international best practices. This study was undertaken to provide an update on the status of TAVI activity in Australia.
