Sutureless aortic valve and TAVI: pros and cons.

Minerva Cardioangiol

April 2018

Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation, Louis Mathieu Heart and Vessels Institute, University Hospital of Brabois, University of Lorraine, Vandoeuvre Les Nancy, France -

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) with biological heart valves remains the gold standard for treating operable older patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. Over the last few years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been shown to be superior to medical treatment in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The transfemoral TAVI route has been also found in randomized controlled trials to be as good as, if not superior to, standard AVR at 5 years in high-risk patients.
