Why is it important?
Despite the wide acceptance of the TAVI procedure in Saudi Arabia there have been few publications on TAVI from Saudi Arabia, except for a few abstracts.Therefore, we sought to describe our experience in TAVI, which was launched in our center early in 2013. The present study aimed to determine the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of TAVI at Madinah Cardiac Center in Saudi Arabia.
Perspectives
our experience with TAVI at a single Saudi center, the Madinah Cardiac Center, is encouraging compared to international experience in terms of clinical improvements, morbidity, and mortality.
