Abstract

In just over a decade, there have been paradigm shifts globally in the catheter-based therapies available for the management of patients with severe aortic stenosis. The use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been a crucial turning point in the field of cardiology as it granted an option for a minimally invasive method to replace a valve for patients who may or may not be suitable for cardiac surgery. In this chapter, we discuss the current practices and considerations as well as the ongoing evolution of catheter-based approaches for TAVR. The predominant focus of the chapter will be on aortic valve device modifications, prototypes of valves, device delivery systems, and the various techniques. However, discussions on indications/contraindications, proper work-up, preparation, equipment and personnel, complications, and post-procedural management & surveillance will also be reviewed.
