Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) in the community is an issue of great interest. It is expected that the burden of AS will increase because of the ageing population, and the prevalence will have doubled by 2050. The development of 3/4D reconstruction imaging assessments has bought about further possibilities with a high diagnostic ability. The progress of a minimally invasive and transcutaneous management approach in the era of structural heart diseases is remarkable. Various vavulopathies (such as aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation or tricuspid valve regurgitation, etc.), which were previously untreatable due to high surgical risk, can now be treated. Based on the results of well-organized randomized control trials, transcutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI) has shown itself to be comparable to surgery results in terms of outcome and mortality, and, as a consequence, the therapeutic indications of TAVI have expanded from high and inoperable risk patients to intermediate and even lately to lower risk patients. However, despite technological progress being made and increased operator expertise, there are still issues that remain to be discussed. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers focused on the clinical advancements of AS in terms of long-term management.
