Abstract
The degenerative, calcified aortic stenosis is the most common form of adult valvular heart disease. Surgical aortic valve replacement is the method of choice and can be performed at low risk in suitable candidates. However, a fair amount of patients is rejected from surgery due to old age and preexisting comorbidities increasing operative mortality. For this reason frequently operation is not accomplished. Today, with the development of percutaneous aortic valve replacement, the treatment of aortic stenosis has entered a new era providing a new durable treatment option.
