TL;DR: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a promising technique, which may offer an alternative to conventional surgery for high-risk patients with aorta stenosis and may be extended to lower risk patients if the initial promise holds to be true after careful evaluation.

TL;DR: The survival of patients after transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation inside failed surgical bioprosthetic valves was determined and stenosis was worse than regurgitation among patients with structural valve deterioration.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: TAP-AVI can be performed safely with good early results in high risk patients with aortic stenosis and long-term valve performance as well as broader based applications of this promising approach will need to be studied.
