Changes in demographics, treatment and outcomes in a  consecutive cohort who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation between 2005 and 2020

CONCLUSION: Over our 15 years' experience, patient age remained unchanged but the patient risk profile became more favourable. Simplification of the TAVI procedure occurred in parallel with major improvement in outcomes and survival. Bleeding/vascular complications and the need for pacemaker implantation remain the Achilles' heel of TAVI.PMID:35212972 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-022-01662-2
