Why the study?
It is unclear whether customized transcatheter heart valve selection tailored to individual anatomy and comorbidities is necessary or if one valve type fits all patients.
Should transcatheter heart valves be selected according to individual patient characteristics or should a 'one valve fits all' approach be used in patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis?
Should transcatheter heart valves be selected according to individual patient characteristics or should a 'one valve fits all' approach be used in patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis?
This review provides an overview of contemporary transcatheter heart valves to help determine the value of tailoring device selection to individual patient anatomy and comorbidities.

May support patient-specific THV selection to improve aortic stenosis outcomes; leaves open need for comparative trials to confirm tailoring benefits.
