Book Chapter Description

Calcific aortic stenosis is the most common acquired valvular heart disease, and its prevalence is increasing significantly with the aging population. Once symptoms of angina, syncope, or heart failure develop, average survival is 2-3 years [1]. Traditionally, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) has been the definitive treatment for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis; however, many patients do not undergo surgery as they are considered high risk or inoperable due to age and comorbidities [2].
