Disclosures
Just a plain Cardiothoracic Surgeon
KISS Principle( keep it simple s…..)
I have no conflicts of interest
Historical Background
Traditional Aortic Valve Replacement and Open Thoracoabdominal Aneurym Repair are well established and long standing therapies.
Both procedures have excellent long term effects with acceptable risk factors.Operative risk is affected by both age and comorbidies( EUROSCORE, STS score).
With increase in aged and sicker population CONVENTIONAL SURGERY is being avoided!!!
WHAT DO WE DO???
Development of lesser invasive therapies!!
Catheter based Valve implantation
Endovascular Stent Implantation
Transcatheter Valve
Endovascular Stent Grafting
TEVAR
Benefits of TAVI
Excellent Hemodynamic- low transvalvulargradients!!!!
Percutaneous
Multiple Applications- “ Valve in Valve”; Calcified MV – native??; Trans Apical & Aortic
Drawbacks
Paravalvular Leak
Pacemaker Requirement
Non suitability in BAV
COST!!!!!!!!!!
DURABILITY??????

Conclusions
TVR, TEVAR, EVAR- established and effective therapies
Indications, Durability, Costs are evolving issues that need further studies.Designated Multidisciplinary Heart & Aortic Team are probably the most effective tool to develop the future applications of these technologies and establishing practice guidelines.RCT and “real life” registries are essential to determine long term resultsExtension of TVR to other Heart Valves is still unknown
CONCLUSIONS
Sutureless Valves and Minimally Invasive Surgery is a promising evolving option that may further extend the pool of patients for Surgical Valve Replacement
Hybrid approaches, Improved Stent Graft Technologies ( Branched Grafts) may be the future!!
SURGEONS MUST MASTER CATHETER BASED SKILLS!!!( “cath or perish”!!!)
