Abstract

During the latest decade, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved from being indicated only in patients with severe aortic stenosis and prohibitive or high surgical risk, to be an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with intermediate surgical risk. Improvements of the peri-procedural management have resulted in marked reduction of complications and an increasing number of patients treated with TAVI every year in Denmark. By a minimalist approach, TAVI can be performed in local anesthaesia, with same day mobilisation and discharge within few days, without affecting the safety.
