Average lengths of stay and common complications are just some of the factors care teams should consider when evaluating the costs of aortic valve replacement. 

Performing virtual reality simulations before TAVR may help cardiologists anticipate when PVL could be an issue in patients with severe BAV AS.

Some of the world’s biggest names in interventional cardiology and structural heart disease gathered in Washington, D.C., for the four-day event. 

Two new studies evaluated the long-term impact of choosing TAVR when low-risk patients present with severe aortic stenosis.
