Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has utterly reformed the management of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. As new technologies have been introduced and techniques of implantation have been revolutionized, TAVI has now become the leading therapeutic strategy for aortic valve replacement in most patients with severe symptomatic AS. The more contemporary minimalistic approach using conscious sedation or even just local anesthesia, the adaptation of techniques to improve commissural alignment and facilitate coronary access after implantation, the innovation regarding the TAVI bioprosthesis with technologies to further improve valve durability along with accumulating experience have resulted in a substantial reduction in procedural complications and improvement of post-TAVI short- and long-term outcomes.
We are pleased to invite you to submit articles regarding the forthcoming Special Issue entitled “Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Recent Advances and Future Prospects”.
In this Special Issue, we are aiming to provide a review on the current status and the fundamental aspects regarding the TAVI procedure. The topic editors encourage the submission of articles highlighting the latest advances in the field, and present interesting data with regards to the role of revascularization and commissural alignment in patients undergoing TAVI and direct comparison of different TAVI bioprostheses (balloon-expandable vs. self-expandable) in several areas including need for pacemaker post-TAVI , haemodynamic performance and paravalvular leaks. In addition, this Special issue will aim to include opinions regarding several future perspectives such as the lifetime management of younger patients with severe AS, the role of TAVI in patients with bicuspid aortic valves and aortic stenosis, pure aortic regurgitation, and those with asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
In this Special Issue, original articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include but are not limited to the following:
- Outcomes post-TAVI;
- Comparison of different bioprostheses regarding haemodynamic performance post-TAVI, rates of PPM implantation and paravalvular leaks;
- The role of revascularization in patients undergoing TAVI;
- Lifelong management of patients with severe aortic stenosis;
- TAVI and minimalistic approach;
- Comparison of different access routes during TAVI.

For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
