Purpose Of Review:
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the cornerstone for aortic valve intervention since the first implantation in 2002. Recent advances with novel devices and introduction into lower risk cohorts have been successful. In this review, we discuss the ongoing limitations to transcatheter aortic valve therapy and whether it will replace surgical aortic valve replacement in the foreseeable future.
Recent Findings:
A better understanding of valve durability, high-grade heart block, and stroke post TAVR has led to practice changes that improve patient outcome.
Summary:
Although there has been great progress made in treating severe aortic stenosis with TAVR, there are room for improvements before it becomes the default therapy for all patients.

Predicting Molecular Geometry
Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
