Why the study?
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has become a standard procedure for severe aortic stenosis, prompting a review of its clinical history, major trials, and procedural evolution.
This review summarizes the clinical history, major trials, and technical evolution of transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Offers clinicians a TAVR evidence synthesis; leaves open needs for trials on expanding indications and durability.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a relatively recent revolutionary treatment that has now become a standard procedure for treating severe aortic stenosis. In this article, the authors review the clinical history of transcatheter aortic valve replacement, summarize the major clinical trials, and describe the evolution of the technique over time. In doing so, the authors hope to provide a clear and concise review of the history and clinical evidence behind transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
