Today, TAVI seems to play a key and a reliable role in the treatment of intermediate and maybe low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. TAVI has also evolved from a complex and hazardous procedure into an effective and safe therapy by the development of new generation devices. This article aims to review the background and future of TAVI, elinieal trials and registries with old and new generation TAVI devices and to focus on some open issues related to post-procedural outcomes.展开更多
