    Abstract:
    Percutaneous trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been established as an alternative to surgical valve replacement in surgical high-risk patients. TAVI is also considered the treatment of choice for symptomatic with severe aortic stenosis who are judged to be in-operable. In current practice in Germany more than one third of all aortic valve replacement interventions are performed as a TAVI procedure. It is of crucial importance that proper selection of patients as well as the treatment modality is performed by a so called "heart team", consisting of at least a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon.
