About this Research Topic
We would like to draw on our existing contacts to describe the current remaining challenges of TAVI and the future directions needed to overcome them. These could include new valve designs to minimal the well known complications that still occur, refinements to implantation methods to enable future coronary access and preprocedural planning including the use of CT scanning protocols for high risk cases. We would also like to cover new surgical equipment that help minimise vascular complications and speed up recovery as well.
