What is a TAVR? (Also called TAVI) This minimally invasive surgical procedure repairs the valve without removing the old, damaged valve.

What is the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a self-expanding prosthesis compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)? A formal economic analysis was performed on the basis of individual patient-level data from the CoreValve U.S. High Risk Pivotal Trial.
