Key Points

  • TAVR effective in CS, but mortality still high and outcomes determined by non-procedural factors

  • AS with intact LV ejection fraction rarely induces CS: Must delineate non-valvular hemodynamic compromise factors

  • “Primary” TAVR strategy preferable, with BAV reserved as “Bridge” to Definitive Decision
