Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in adults

Authors' recommendations:
In the only randomised controlled trial (RCT), TAVI significantly reduced the risk of death from any cause after one year compared with conservative management in patients who were not suitable candidates for surgery.
In the RCT, TAVI was associated with a significantly higher incidence of major vascular complications and a higher incidence of major strokes.
There are currently no published randomised trials comparing TAVI with surgical aortic valve replacement.
There are few data on long-term outcomes following TAVI.
There is limited information on the impact of TAVI on quality of life compared with alternative interventions.
There is insufficient information to reliably estimate the cost effectiveness of TAVI.
Patient selection for TAVI should be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team.
