Contemporary European practice in transcatheter aortic valve implantation: results from the 2022 European TAVI Pathway Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A steep rise in the use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the management of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis occurred. Minimalist TAVI procedures and streamlined patient pathways within experienced Heart Valve Centres are designed to overcome the challenges of ever-increasing procedural volume.

Aims

The 2022 European TAVI Pathway Survey aims to describe contemporary TAVI practice across Europe.

Materials and methods

Between October and December 2022, TAVI operators from 32 European countries were invited to complete an online questionnaire regarding their current practice.

Results

Responses were available from 147 TAVI centres in 26 countries. In 2021, the participating centres performed a total number of 27,223 TAVI procedures,
