Authors' objectives:

How does transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis implantation (TAVI) affect quality of life, and morbidity, compared with medical treatment or open surgery, among adult patients with aortic valvular disease?

Authors' recommendations: TAVI is a minimally invasive technique for patients with severe aortic stenosis, that have been considered inoperable, or with a high surgical risk. Hemodynamic results following TAVI have been promising, but the level of evidence for all studied outcomes is insufficient for treatment of inoperable, or high surgical risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The method is expensive and comparisons to currently available non-invasive treatment are absent. Serious complications occur with TAVI in patients considered inoperable, or with a high surgical risk.
