Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has exploded into medical care for aortic stenosis, thus changing the treatment options for patients. TAVR is currently approved for extreme-risk, high-risk, and intermediate-risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, and randomized trials for low-risk patients are underway. This article traces the trajectory of TAVR as a viable option for higher-risk patients and examines current outcomes.
经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)已迅速成为治疗主动脉瓣狭窄的医疗手段,从而改变了患者的治疗选择。目前,TAVR已被批准用于治疗有症状的严重主动脉瓣狭窄的极高危、高危和中危患者,针对低危患者的随机试验正在进行中。本文追溯了TAVR作为高危患者可行选择的发展轨迹,并审视了当前的治疗效果。
