Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation [PDF]
There has been significant improvement in device designs, operative techniques, and early clinical outcomes in <5 years. Presently, there are two catheter-based bioprostheses (balloon expandable or self-expandable), which have been widely used in humans and are undergoing clinical investigations.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation [PDF]
[first paragraph of article] Aortic valve (AV) disease is a common condition with its prevalence, particularly aortic stenosis increasing exponentially with advancing age. A decade ago conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) was the only treatment when medical management failed and symptoms developed. More than half of the patients potentially

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation [PDF]
Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common form of degenerative heart valve disease in developed countries. AS predominantly affects the elderly with a prevalence of 4% in people over the age of 80 years. With increasing longevity and an ageing population the absolute number of people afflicted with AS is set to rise.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was developed to offer a therapeutic solution to patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are not candidates for conventional aortic valve replacement. The improvement in transcatheter aortic valve implantation outcomes is still of concern in the areas of stroke, vascular injury, heart block ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation [PDF]
Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition when left untreated. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is the gold standard treatment for the majority of patients; however, transcatheter aortic valve implantation/replacement (TAVI/TAVR) has emerged as the preferred treatment for high-risk or inoperable patients.
