In patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis who are inoperable or at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents an alternative therapeutic strategy.1 Currently, there are 2 commercially available devices: the self-expandable CoreValve revalving system (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) and the balloon-expandable Sapien XT valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, Calif). For the latter, a transapical approach is the first choice in case of unavailable femoral access.

Abstract

In patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis who are inoperable or at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents an alternative therapeutic strategy.1 Currently, there are 2 commercially available devices: the self-expandable CoreValve revalving system (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) and the balloon-expandable Sapien XT valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, Calif). For the latter, a transapical approach is the first choice in case of unavailable femoral access.
