Abstract

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure in which a transcatheter heart valve (THV) is implanted within the patient's diseased native aortic valve. The procedure is increasingly chosen even for intermediate-risk and younger patients, as it combines complication rates comparable to open-heart surgery with the advantage of being far less invasive. Despite its…
