Surgical aortic valve replacement is the gold standard of treatment for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in all age groups. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), which is performed by senior interventional cardiologists in experienced centers, is an alternative therapy for patients considered to be at high risk for surgery. The aim of this study is to describe the procedural success and short-term results of TAVI performed by young interventional cardiologists in Trabzon, Turkey.
