Transcatheter valvular interventions 2022: insights from the National Societies of Cardiology Journals of the European Society of Cardiology

Abstract

Transcatheter valvular interventions (TVIs) have emerged in the wake of the successes achieved with the mitral percutaneous dilatation by Inoue, 40 years ago, and the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with aortic stenosis by Cribier two decades ago. Transcatheter valvular interventions now apply with an increasing rate to several other diseases involving aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valves. Several interesting issues related to TVIs have been addressed by studies published in the year 2022 in the National Societies of Cardiology Journals (NSCJs).
