Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Aortic stenosis is a common disease with a prevalence of approximately 5 % in elderly patients. The population of people in the United States older than 65 is expected to increase from 40 million in 2010 to nearly 80 million by 2050. With this demographic shift, the burden of valvular heart disease will increase as well.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement [PDF]
Abstract: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is indicated in some patients with severe aortic stenosis for whom surgical intervention is not deemed appropriate. This article explores when TAVR may be the preferred treatment option over surgical aortic valve replacement and discusses various prosthetic valve devices.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
The percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure, introduced in 2002, has emerged as a successful and comparable treatment option for many patients with aortic stenosis. Balanced general anesthesia or monitored anesthesia care in addition to local anesthesia have been used during transfemoral and transapical approaches.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has rapidly become a mainstay in the treatment of high-risk and extremely high-risk patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The procedure improves survival compared with conservative therapy and is equivalent to or even superior to surgical aortic ...

Update on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive approach to treat symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. The patient populations that have been shown to benefit from this procedure continue to grow with time. Techniques and technology in TAVR persistently advance with a continued trend toward improved outcomes for patients.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement
After more than ten years of development, A. Cribier accomplished in 2002 the first percutaneous aortic valve replacement (AVR), which is a curative procedure for severe aortic stenosis and an alternative to surgery for high risk patients. With material improvements over time, the procedure has evolved to become a purely percutaneous intervention in ...

On the Mechanics of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) represent the latest advances in prosthetic heart valve technology. TAVs are truly transformational as they bring the benefit of heart valve replacement to patients that would otherwise not be operated on. Nevertheless, like any new device technology, the high expectations are dampened with growing concerns arising ...
