Transcatheter aortic valve implantation: past, present and future.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Review of Current Indications, Approaches, Future Insights, and Alternatives

The use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation is increasing worldwide, with rapid development of new generations of valves and the search for alternative access for implantation. The aim of this review is to summarise current approaches and indications, and to discuss some of the controversies surrounding

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

During the past decades, the only effective treatment option for severe, symptomatic, aortic valve stenosis was surgical aortic valve replacement. More than 10 years ago, Alain Cribier performed the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Since 2007, CE-mark certified aortic valves are available for TAVI. This new technology rapidly achieved a very high clinical acceptance as a tr...

Concomitant Transapical Transcatheter Valve Implantations: Edwards Sapien Valve for Severe Mitral Regurgitation in a Patient with Failing Mitral Bioprostheses and JenaValve for the Treatment of Pure Aortic Regurgitation.

Transcatheter valve implantation is a novel interventional technique, which was developed as an  alternative therapy for surgical aortic valve replacement in inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis. Despite limited experience in using transcatheter valve implantation for mitral and aortic regurgitation, transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation and valve-in-valve implantation ...
