Thourani agreed, noting that an unpublished PARTNER 3 substudy looking at minimally invasive versus open surgery showed no differences in outcomes. “And, moreover, transfemoral TAVR in low-risk patients still did better than minimally invasive.” Further long-term TAVI data are warranted, however...
Objectives Aortic valve stenosis is a chronic and progressive valvular heart disease. The standard treatment of this condition involves a major open surgery. For patients currently ineligible for surgery, medical management is the only option available. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) ...
Its true value as an important, therapeutic alternative to open heart surgery in inoperable and high-risk patients is now confirmed in large multicenter registries and by the prospective, randomized PARTNER trial. Decisive for the future acceptance of the procedure and for a possible expansion of ...
A surgeon and cardiologist are present and scrubbed for each procedure. For the trans-femoral cases a second cardiologist is also present and for the trans-apical procedures a second surgeon is present. Patients are prepped as they would be for routine open heart surgery in our unit. All patie...

Thus, in a subgroup of symptomatic patients the decision to use TAVI versus SAVR is recom- mended to be based on a multidisciplinary heart team case- to-case discussion [7] and/or a shared process [8] to take into account patient´s factors affecting quality of life, as well as ...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery to treat severe aortic valve stenosis, proving to be effective at reducing morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients [1,2]. Despite its benefits, TAVI still carries the risk of post...
