From the wealth of recent registries and trials scrutinising its performance, trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) emerges as a viable and rapidly established option, both when compared to medical treatment in inoperable patients and when compared to conventional surgical treatment in high-risk patients. Results consistently demonstrate improvement in functional status and outcome; however, appropriate patient selection remains crucial as high-risk cohorts become apparent.
