Abstract

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease commonly found in the elderly patients. Treatment should be initiated prompt after the diagnosis of symptomatic AS, due to its poor prognosis and a high death rate. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the elective treatment for elderly patients with AS and high surgical risk. This study aims to evaluate the preand post-TAVI echocardiographic parameters and the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within the first 30 days and at 1 year, in the first 10 patients subjected to TAVI in the Republic of Moldova.
