- Title
Transcatheter aortic valve-in-surgical aortic valve implantation: current status and future perspectives.
- Authors
Lange, Rüdiger; Piazza, Nicolo
- Abstract
The author discusses the status and future perspectives of transcatheter aortic valve-in-surgical aortic valve implantation. The author states that relative use of surgical bioprosthetic valves has increased because of improved surgical techniques, valve durability, and patient's preference. He also states that radio-opaque components of stented valves serve as perfect markers for positioning and deploying the transcatheter valve.
