Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been established as an effective treatment modality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and the uptake of TAVI is rapidly growing in the Asia-Pacific region. However, there exist a heterogeneity in the management of aortic stenosis and the use of TAVI among countries in the region. Reasons for these differences include anatomic variations, disparity in healthcare resources and infrastructure, and the lack of consensus on the optimal management of AS in the Asia-Pacific region.

- Endovascular treatment for arterial diseases is now preferred due to advancements in technology, but calcified lesions have complicated procedures like EVAR and TAVR.
- The Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System uses mechanical energy to break up calcified arteries, making procedures easier and safer.
- The paper discusses successful case applications of IVL, showing its potential benefits in improving artery access and treatment outcomes.
