Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has transformed into an acceptable risk procedure with non-inferior benefit compared with surgical aortic valve replacement in high and intermediate risk populations.
Why the study?
Evidence in TAVR has accumulated rapidly over the last few years and its application to clinical decision making is becoming more important.

Review of TAVR advances supports evolving patient selection; leaves open questions on complications and emerging technologies.
This review summarizes recent advances in transcatheter aortic valve replacement, focusing on patient selection, expanding indications, complications, and emerging technologies.
Ando et al. (2019) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vs. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was evaluated. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has transformed into an acceptable risk procedure with non-inferior benefit compared with surgical aortic valve replacement in high and intermediate risk populations.
