Why the study?
As TAVI is increasingly used in younger and lower-risk patients, ensuring long-term transcatheter aortic valve durability is critical, especially following standardized definitions of structural valve degeneration.

Standardized SVD definitions required before TAVI durability assessment in low-risk patients; leaves open precise long-term outcome comparisons.
Standardized definitions of structural valve degeneration are crucial for evaluating the long-term durability of transcatheter aortic valves, especially as TAVI expands to younger, lower-risk patients.
Costa et al. (2019) studied this question.
