Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an emerging therapy for geriatric patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Accordant valve prostheses are CE certified since 2007. 486 transcatheter aortic valve implantations were performed between June 2007 and December 2010 at the German Heart Center Munich.
Hemodynamic performance and clinical results were surveyed up to three years.
We found a significant and sustained improvement of echocardiographic hemodynamic parameters, NYHA class and state of health.
