Transcatheter aortic valve replacement program development: Recommendations for best practice
Why the study?
TAVR is increasingly used for higher risk aortic stenosis patients, but best practice recommendations for program development are needed.
Population
Higher risk populations with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR
Comparison
Implementation of best practice recommendations for TAVR program development
Design
Guideline based on centers with early and extensive experience

Implication
Requires Heart Team integration for TAVR programs in high-risk aortic stenosis; reinforces Level 1 guideline consensus on interdisciplinary care.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Higher risk populations with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
I
Intervention
Implementation of best practice recommendations for TAVR program development (including Heart Team approach, TAVR Coordinator, comprehensive screening, geriatric integration, and data management)
O
Outcome
Programmatic success and patient outcomes
Developing a successful TAVR program requires a structured, multidisciplinary approach tailored to the unique needs of high-risk aortic stenosis patients.
Cite This Study
Hawkey et al. (2014) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) program development was evaluated. Developing a successful TAVR program requires a comprehensive, collaborative, interdisciplinary Heart Team approach tailored to the unique needs of higher-risk populations with aortic stenosis.
