Recently, an increase in the number of patients with severe aortic stenosis eligible for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been observed worldwide. In order to reduce waiting lists, provide to all patients referred to us equal access to care and to further improve the collaboration with spoke centers, we developed a specific Hub & Spoke specific protocol for TAVI. According to our protocol, a clinical selection (with echo and computed tomography scan) is done by Spoke centers, the case is discussed with a multidisciplinary team online and the procedure is planned (access, valve type size).
