Launch and cultivate a successful program for the innovative procedure poised to become the standard for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Program Development: A Guide for the Heart Team .
Written by leaders in the field, this clinical instruction manual is the first to consolidate evidence, guidelines, and best practices for the TAVR care pathway from referral to follow-up. This is a must-have for clinicians—nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals—as well as administrative leadership and staff involved in TAVR programs.

The text offers a comprehensive view of the TAVR program organized to support staff and quality, and positioned to grow on pace with evolving indications, regulations, technology, and patient needs:
