A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH SEVERE AORTIC STENOSIS
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to replace the function of the aortic valve.
A LESS INVASIVE TREATMENT OPTION
TAVI may be an excellent option for certain patients because the prevalence of aortic stenosis and co-morbidities increase the risks associated with surgical aortic valve implantation (SAVI).1 Without intervention, the average symptomatic patient life expectancy is 2 to 5 years.2
