Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The experience of operators and improvement in the technique have resulted in a drastic reduction in complications following TAVR in patients with lower surgical risk. In parallel, the procedure has been considerably simplified with a routine default strategy including local anesthesia in the cath lab, percutaneous femoral approach, radial secondary access, prosthesis implantation without predilatation, and left ventricle wire pacing without secondary venous access. TAVR has become a routine procedure allowing for rapid recovery and early ambulation and discharge, with an improvement in patient satisfaction; The aim is also reduction in hospital costs but without compromising safety. The future challenges of TAVR may be related to rationalizing the management of conductive disorders and pace maker indications, prevention of asymptomatic thrombosis, concerns regarding durability and reintervention in younger and lower risk patients, coronary access, and also the choice of device regarding valve and aortic anatomy. With this Special Issue, we hope to encourage submissions that discuss the current state of the art, address ongoing knowledge gaps, and focus on ongoing controversies related to TAVR.
