Clinical evidence

Find out more about the evidence that supports the use of TAVI to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis (sAS).1-8 TAVI has been shown to benefit a wide range of sAS patients, including those with differing levels of surgical risk, patients with the typical comorbidities and risk factors associated with sAS.6-11

TAVI Trials

Discover more about the trials that have demonstrated comparable or better outcomes with TAVI compared with surgery (sAVR) in sAS patients with low, intermediate or high surgical risk. In addition, see the trial of TAVI versus standard treatment in patients with inoperable aortic stenosis.1-8

Quality of life

At 1 month post-intervention, health status was significantly better in patients who underwent TAVI compared to those who underwent sAVR.  TAVI was also associated with health status benefits at 12 months compared with sAVR in low surgical risk patients.12-14

Patient conditions and special risks

Many patients have multiple co-morbidities, which can make treatment decisions less clear. The following page provides valuable insights on how to manage these clinically challenging patients.

Healthcare system impact

Examine the data that show TAVI has a number of benefits for healthcare systems. This includes low complication rates,9 shorter procedure time,10 faster recovery,12 and reduced length of hospital stays.3,5

TAVI valve durability

Valve durability is a key consideration for intervention choice. Assess the follow-up data from the PARTNER 3 studies, which establish the durability of the SAPIEN valves used in TAVI, in addition to 10-year real-world data.5,6
