Abstract:

•TAVI use in Latin America remains markedly lower than in the United States and Europe.•The study analyzed 1250 elderly patients undergoing aortic valve interventions in Chile (2019-2023).•TAVI was used in 55% of patients 75 years or older undergoing valve interventions.•TAVI cut in-hospital mortality by ∼46% vs. SAVR.•There is a need for wider TAVI access across emergent countries.

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...
