Call for papers: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has revolutionized the field of cardiac surgery by providing a less invasive and safer alternative in selected patients to traditional open-heart surgery for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. The technology behind TAVI has continued to advance, resulting in improved precision and safety, as well as expanding the patient population that can benefit from the procedure. TAVI has become an established treatment option and is constantly evolving with new techniques and devices being developed to improve patient outcomes. The future of TAVI looks promising, with ongoing research and development aiming to further enhance its efficacy and expand its reach in cardiac surgery.

La implantación transcatéter de válvulas aórticas (TAVI) es una técnica de cirugía cardíaca menos invasiva y más segura en pacientes seleccionados que ha revolucionado el tratamiento de la estenosis aórtica grave. Los avances tecnológicos han mejorado la precisión y seguridad de la TAVI, y la técnica se está utilizando cada vez más en pacientes con anatomías más complicadas. La TAVI se ha convertido en una opción de tratamiento establecida, y la investigación continua y el desarrollo de nuevas técnicas y dispositivos prometen mejorar aún más la precisión y seguridad de la TAVI en el futuro. La TAVI está en constante evolución y es un campo emocionante en la cirugía cardíaca.
