Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the Special Issue “Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Replacement: Prospects and Challenges—2nd Edition”, following the success of the first edition, which brought together valuable contributions on expanding indications, procedural innovations, and clinical outcomes in TAVI. For more details, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/95Z39O9TDA.
Over the past decade, TAVI has revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis; however, important questions remain. Current knowledge gaps include the long-term durability of transcatheter valves compared with surgical bioprostheses in younger patients, the role of TAVI in bicuspid anatomy and patients under 70 years of age, and the management of coronary and valve interventions after TAVI or SAVR. Further evidence is also required for the transcatheter treatment of pure aortic regurgitation, the impact of procedural volume on outcomes, and the equitable global adoption of valve interventions, particularly in middle- and low-income countries.
This second edition aims to build on the foundation established in the first edition by welcoming original research, reviews, and real-world data on patient selection, novel devices, procedural innovations, long-term outcomes, and structural considerations for complex TAVI scenarios. Our goal is to foster international collaboration and generate evidence to refine practice and expand access to life-saving valve interventions.
