Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is now considered as the established treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in patients deemed to be at high risk of surgical mortality or who are not suitable for surgery. During this decade, TAVR has emerged as a valid alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients at intermediate surgical risk, and several studies are currently being performed to assess whether TAVR can be as effective as surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low- to intermediate-risk patients.
