Abstract
The first-in-human transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was successfully performed in 2002. In excess of 50,000 TAVI procedures have been performed to date using the Edwards SAPIEN or Medtronic CoreValve transcatheter aortic valves. In this chapter, a brief overview of patient selection criteria, descriptions of the Edwards SAPIEN and Medtronic CoreValve systems, and the procedural techniques for transfemoral TAVI will be provided. Additionally, the cardiac and non-cardiac complications associated with TAVI will be discussed and the available TAVI literature will be summarized.
