Abstract

The article serves to outline the beginnings of transcatheter aortic valve replacement and the pivotal trials that have resulted in this technology's being adopted in a widespread manner. Also detailed in the article are the differences between the various iterations of the balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve platforms, offering insight into scenarios when a balloon-expandable or a self-expanding prosthesis might be considered based on patient characteristics.

Keywords: Balloon expandable; Transcatheter aortic valve replacement; Transcatheter heart valves.
