Severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) is chronic, progressive illness that confers significant morbidity and mortality. Once symptomatic, patients with severe AS will ultimately succumb to the disease if it is not promptly corrected.1 Historically, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) served as the exclusive therapeutic option to correct this mechanical problem.2 However, in 2002, Alain Cribier… View more
