Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Written and edited by an outstanding  team of experts in the field, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation  offers a multidisciplinary approach to this rapidly expanding procedure.  Recent studies have shown transcatheter aortic valve implantation  (TAVI) to be as effective as surgical aortic valve repair (SAVR), with  demonstrably better outcomes for low, intermediate, and high-risk  patients. Under the editorial leadership of Drs. Catherine M. Otto,  Bernard D. Prendergast, and Simon Redwood, this practical reference  incorporates recent research on patient selection, discusses current  guidelines, and covers the new devices developed to address this  fast-growing area.

• Follows  the patient journey from indications, patient selection for TAVI,  choice of valve, and pre-TAVI evaluation through the procedure itself,  complications, and long-term outcomes―all with a multidisciplinary team  approach.  
• Features  consistent headings and user-friendly content in every chapter:  Checklists, Decision Pathways, Data/Evidence Summaries, and Essential  Readings. 
• Contains  multidisciplinary TAVI Decision Pathways that provide a uniquely visual  yet comprehensive approach for quick retrieval and application of all  the latest clinical implications for TAVI. 
• Includes the latest evidence-based data on TAVI vs. SAVR from the new AHA/ACC guidelines and implications for practice.
