Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI or TAVR) was developed as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for inoperable or high-risk patients. Originally, this method was intended for the treatment of patients with aortic stenosis. Currently, there are several types of valves implanted percutaneously. The periprocedural complications of TAVI are not frequent. Using the second-generation or third-generation valves, the results of TAVI are improving and therefore TAVI is currently recommended also for intermediate-risk patients. For several reasons, TAVI in patients with AR is still problematic and is a subject of clinical research.
