Abstract:
The therapeutic management of aortic stenosis has been drastically changed by the advent of percutaneous valve replacement (TAVI). Since the first implantation, the indications have progressively been extended from the inoperable patient to the patient at low surgical risk. The main objective of this review is to describe the currently recommended main indications of TAVI depending on an individualized assessment of each patient's risk, technical characteristics and anatomical valvular criteria.
