Abstract

Eighteen years after the birth of the concept, TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) has established itself as the treatment of choice for symptomatic patients with severe aortic valve stenosis at high surgical risk. Unlike surgical prosthesis, the benefit of which has been validated in observational studies, indications for TAVI are now based on the results of large randomized trials. The TAVI revolution continues today with the miniaturization of the equipment, the development of new closure systems, the availability of a wider range of prosthesis sizes and the growing experience of operators, all contributing to the widening of indications to lower risk patients.

Dix-huit ans après la naissance du concept, le TAVI («Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation») s’est affirmé comme un traitement de choix chez les patients symptomatiques avec rétrécissement valvulaire aortique serré à haut risque chirurgical. Contrairement aux prothèses chirurgicales, dont le bénéfice a été validé dans des études observationnelles, les indications concernant le TAVI s’appuient, aujourd’hui, sur les résultats de larges essais randomisés. La révolution du TAVI continue encore actuellement avec la miniaturisation du matériel, le développement de nouveaux systèmes de fermeture, la disponibilité d’un plus large éventail de tailles de prothèse et l’expérience croissante des opérateurs, le tout contribuant à l’élargissement des indications aux patients à risque intermédiaire.
