Update on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Morgan H Randall et al. Cardiol Ther. 2020 Jun.

Abstract

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. In this review, we highlight the advances in vascular access, TAVR valve design, progress in reducing procedural complications, and emerging evidence in the field.

Keywords: Alternative transcatheter aortic valve access; Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); Transcatheter aortic valve replacement complications; Transcatheter aortic valve review.
