Abstract

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a viable and safe treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are considered ineligible or at prohibitive risk for Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR)1–4. The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate the in-hospital complications and the determinants or factors associated with outcome after TAVI, thereby, offering insight into the pathophysiology of complications that in turn may help to propose recommendations to improve the planning, execution and follow-up of TAVI.
