Description
Gianni Dall'Ara and co-authors report early results, in a 2026 study, of catheter-based aortic valve replacement performed at hospitals without on-site heart surgery. Waits for treatment at specialist valve centres can harm patients with a narrowed aortic valve. The TAVI AT HOME study tests whether expert teams can deliver the procedure safely at ordinary hospitals.
The run-in phase enrolled twenty patients at three Italian centres and compared them with forty-one similar cases from a local registry. The home-centre group actually carried more prohibitive-risk patients, yet technical success was slightly higher than in the registry group. No deaths occurred within thirty days in either set, and one-year survival matched. The ethics committee approved expanding the study after this interim check.
