- Procedural considerations and comparative outcomes are essential for selecting the ideal valve.
- The review aids in understanding clinical decision pathways for TAVR.

## Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a cornerstone in
today’s treatment of aortic stenosis. Modern transcatheter prostheses are
continuously evolving and each one features different design traits. In this
review, the authors provide insight in the technical differences of current
prostheses and TAVR related clinical decision pathways, preferably useful for the
beginners but also for advanced operators. Additionally, procedural
considerations and comparative outcomes of the prostheses are discussed. In doing
so, the authors aim to facilitate the choice of the ideal transcatheter valve
procedure for each individual.
