Quantitative aortography assessment of aortic regurgitation. Insight into a novel technique. EuroIntervention. 2019 Nov 19;: Authors: Modolo R, Chang CC, Onuma Y, Schultz C, Tateishi H, Abdelghani M, Miyazaki Y, Aben JP, Rutten MCM, Pighi M, El Bouziani A, van Mourik M, Lemos PA, Wykrzykowska JJ, Brito FS, Sahyoun C, Piazza N, Eltchaninoff H, Soliman O, Abdel-Wahab M, Van Mieghem NM, de Winter RJ, Serruys PW Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is undeniably invading the "surgical" space and expanding its indication. Over the last 5 years, there has been a real revolution in TAVI technology with the introduction of newer devices that aimed to simplify the procedure 1. These swift advances have transformed the landscape in structural heart disease and culminated in a broader use of TAVI in clinical practice 2, 3. The procedure is not only spreading worldwide but is also becoming less aggressive for the patient with the so-called "minimalist approach". PMID: 31746741 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
