Born From Risk: What Made TAVR Possible and the Future of a Transformational Technology
05/31/2017
Tom C. Nguyen, MD; Prakash Balan, MD, JD; H. Vernon Anderson, MD
Born from surgical risk considerations, TAVR ultimately will be defined by individualized outcomes. As we treat severe aortic stenosis among ever lower-risk patients, we will need to retain both TAVR and SAVR as possible options.
