Abstract

«The future from the past is not the present» (Hans R. Figulla)

Recent advances and successes in transcatheter valve technology (TVT) are not necessarily the most reliable and only predictor of the future of this exciting field; drawbacks and surprises are possible and could curb the current optimism in the future. It appears likely, however, that the field shall maintain its momentum with dwindling borderlines between cardiology and heart surgery and growing integration of tissue engineering, material sciences, and cellular biology in transcatheter valve technology (TVT) research and development. In this chapter we focus on the potentials and drawbacks of the present and emerging TVT technology and outline some of the future lines of research and applications.
