Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement is appropriate for very high surgical risk patients with severe aortic-valve stenosis.
Patients with aortic-valve stenosis, including those at very high surgical risk
Aortic-valve replacement (including transcatheter aortic-valve replacement)
Aortic-valve replacement is the only effective therapy for progressive aortic-valve stenosis, with transcatheter replacement being appropriate for patients at very high surgical risk.
Aortic-valve stenosis is a progressive condition; end-stage disease leads to death due to obstruction of left ventricular outflow. Aortic-valve replacement is the only effective therapy. Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement is appropriate in patients at very high surgical risk.
