Transcatheter aortic valve implantation today represents an alternative to cardiac surgery in patients with a high surgical risk, in specific
situations (porcelain aorta, coronary bypass grafts) or in patients with absolute contraindication to surgical aortic valve replacement.
These original indications are gradually being extended to less risky patients and to other groups of patients (valve-in-valve implantation,
bicuspid aortic valve or combined stenosis and insufficiency). The article summarizes the current view of the indication for the procedure
with respect to certain specific situations and describes the potential risks of the procedure and mid-term results of our TAVI patient group.
