TAVR is Here! - TriStar Health

Clinical Implications
• Two-year data continue to support the role of
treatment with the Edwards SAPIEN THV as the
standard of care for patients with severe
symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis who are
not surgical candidates
• The ultimate value of the Edwards SAPIEN
THV in “inoperable” patients will depend on
careful selection of patients who are not surgical
candidates, and yet do not have extreme
comorbidities that overwhelm the benefits and
render the intervention futile
