Evolving landscape in aortic stenosis

Diagnosing Aortic Stenosis patients

It can be challenging confirming the AS severity and finding the optimal time to refer for further treatment.

2021 ESC/EACTS Treatment Guidelines

Explore the latest updates in aortic stenosis management and see the impact this may have on your referral decisions.

Today, 80 is the new 70

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients in their 70s and 80s showed comparable quality-of-life (QoL) improvements and clinical benefits1

Clinical evidence

Sustained durability of TAVI

Current durability evidence for TAVI valves supports the ESC/EACTS recommendation: TF-TAVI as preferred mode of intervention in patients ≥75 years of age**, as well as for additional patient groups < 75 years of age1

**Based on evaluation of clinical, anatomical and procedural factors

Mean Aortic Valve Gradient, PARTNER II A2†

TAVI has shown similar outcomes to surgery (SAVR) across key durability parameters:

  • With up to 5 years follow-up data of SAPIEN 3 TAVI versus SAVR2
  • Up to 10 years of evidence from Real-World observational studies3

Latest developments

2021 ESC/EACTS VHD Guidelines advocate for age-based assessment

Age has become a key factor in determining if a TAVI procedure is relevant for each AS patient. Find out more about the clinical evidence.
