Original title: 5-Year Outcome After Aortic Valve Implantation Reference: Stefan Toggweiler, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;61:413–9 Percutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now a valid strategy as we know its short and medium term evolution but we do not have enough information available about the long term. The aim of this study was to analyze the<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2013/01/28/n-3256/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2012;5:689-697. This study evaluates the safety, feasibility and results of Core Valve implants on patients with bioprostheses dysfunctional by stenosis, insufficiency or a combination of both.

Reference: Sinning et al. AHJ Am Heart J 2012;164:102-110 Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is a novel technique for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis (SAS) that has been built with great enthusiasm in clinical practice, particularly in patients with excessive surgical risk. In these patients, a high obstructive peripheral vascular disease stands, a fact<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/10/01/n-3893/" title="Read more" >...</a>
