- Abstract:
- Due to the worldwide rising incidence of calcified aortic stenosis (AS) and the increasing need for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), we analyzed the structural, organizational, and procedural evolution of TAVI implantations from 2016 to 2022. The aim of this study was to assess waiting times, patient characteristics and pre-existing comorbidities, while providing insights into factors that predict the outcome after TAVI. Additionally, this study examines changes in echocardiographic parameters before and after the intervention and investigates TAVI-associated complications.
