“A significant population of patients with AS are still treated medically.”

Impact of TAVI on Referrals1

Impact of TAVI on Referrals graph

A retrospective study determined that the introduction of TAVI was associated with an increase in aortic valve replacement referrals and a decrease in the rate of unoperated AS. This positive impact was due to increases in both TAVI and AVR volume. Increased volume was not associated with worse patient survival.1
