Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is reviewed as an effective and safe therapy for elderly and high-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis.
TAVI has evolved into an effective and safe therapy for severe aortic stenosis across various risk profiles.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents a real revolution in the field of interventional cardiology for the treatment of elderly or high-risk surgical patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. Today, TAVI seems to play a key and a reliable role in the treatment of intermediate and maybe low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. TAVI has also evolved from a complex and hazardous procedure into an effective and safe therapy by the development of new generation devices. This article aims to review the background and future of TAVI, clinical trials and registries with old and new generation TAVI devices and to focus on some open issues related to post-procedural outcomes.
