Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis in Patients Who Cannot Undergo Surgery

TL;DR: In patients with severe aortic stenosis who were not suitable candidates for surgery, TAVI, as compared with standard therapy, significantly reduced the rates of death from any cause, the composite end point of deathFrom any cause or repeat hospitalization, and cardiac symptoms, despite the higher incidence of major strokes and major vascular events.

Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Replacement for Inoperable Severe Aortic Stenosis

TL;DR: Among appropriately selected patients with severe aortic stenosis who were not suitable candidates for surgery, TAVR reduced the rates of death and hospitalization, with a decrease in symptoms and an improvement in valve hemodynamics that were sustained at 2 years of follow-up.
