Abstract：Valvular heart disease in China is usually caused by rheumatic heart disease.However,with increasingly improved public health conditions,the prevalence of rheumatic diseases has decreased substantially,and valvular diseases are now mostly caused by degenerative lesions,such as degenerative aortic stenosis.Although open surgical valve replacement via sternotomy provides a good clinical prognosis,this treatment method still carries a high surgical risk.Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)is a minimally invasive method for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.Because of its many advantages,it has become the first choice for patients with middle-to high-risk valve disease.At present,this new technology has attracted great attention in the cardiovascular field,leading to a new revolution in minimally invasive percutaneous cardiac intervention.This article reviews the technical introduction,clinical application and long-term effects of TAVR.
