Authors' objectives: Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI) has, for several years, become an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. A systematic review of health economic evaluations of TAVI vs. SAVR (part 1) is complemented here with a data analysis of aortic valve replacement in Austria (part 2).
Authors' recommendations: Implementation is lower in Austria than in Germany and Switzerland: The analysed data show a rate of 107 TAVI per million inhabitants in Austria. This is below the rates reported for Germany and Switzerland (2014: 163 and 127 TAVI per million inhabitants, respectively). The analysed data show that there is minimal regional variation between the federal states, both for the use of TAVI and for SAVR. Overall there are signs that TAVI is being used according to predefined guideline-based patient selection criteria in Austria. Further in-depth investigations that include analyses of data after hospital-dismissal are recommended.
