Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: OPTIMIZING OUTCOMES FOR HEALTHY RECOVERY.
Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been approved in the United States for intermediate and high-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. More than 80 000 TAVR procedures have been performed in the United States and the number is growing every year. Two valve designs are approved in the United States including the balloon expandable Edwards Sapien prosthesis and self-expanding CoreValve prosthesis. The PARTNER trial of the Sapien valve, involving patients who were considered inoperable, reported a 19% absolute risk reduction in mortality compared with medical therapy, with a ...
