Check Out ACC’s Latest TAVR Resources
The ACC has developed several Shared Decision-Making Tools to help patients and clinicians work together when deciding on certain treatment options. The Aortic Stenosis: TAVR/SAVR Decision Aid guides patients with severe aortic stenosis who are deciding between TAVR and surgery or TAVR and medical management. Learn more at CardioSmart.org/TAVRDecisionAids. For more resources, check out the TAVR In-Hospital Mortality Risk clinical app. In addition, the ACC, along with the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, recently released an updated Expert Consensus Systems of Care document regarding operator and institutional recommendations and requirements for TAVR.
