Why the study?
Expanding indications created challenges in meeting the growing demand for TAVI, prompting a transition toward simplified procedures and shorter hospital stays that require practical guidance.
This expert consensus document outlines best practices for implementing simplified, fast-track TAVI procedures to meet growing demand without compromising patient safety.
Supports safe TAVI expansion amid rising demand; extends prior data with practical consensus guidance for implementation.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the guideline-supported treatment of choice for older or higher-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. With expanding indications the community has faced substantial challenges in meeting the growing demand for TAVI procedures. This led to a transition towards simplification of the procedure and shortening of the hospital stay, defined together as the "fast-track", "minimalist" or "simplified" TAVI. Current data suggest that such approach can be adopted without compromising patients' safety if certain procedural standards are maintained. This document aims at providing a practical guide by highlighting best practices of simplified TAVI with particular focus on the specific features of Polish health care system.

Dąbrowski et al. (2026) conducted a review in Severe aortic stenosis. Simplified transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was evaluated. Simplified transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be adopted safely if procedural standards are maintained, according to a Polish expert consensus providing a practical guide.
