TAVI—thick on technology but thin on evidence

Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as one of the most popularly deployed interventional innovations of recent times. After addressing the inoperable and high-risk patients, it is application is being extended to intermediate and low-risk category. There is some disquiet about the strength of evidence on which the clinical application is based. Durability and pacemaker requirement are also areas of concern. This review highlights the areas of concern on these aspects. There is also a need to address these deficiencies in future trials and also bring updated database reports in the public domain.
