Percutaneous valve replacement: current state and future prospects.

Percutaneous valve implantation is the development of a foldable heart valve that can be mounted on an expandable stent delivered percutaneously through standard catheter-based techniques and implanted within a diseased valve annulus. In cases with severe aortic stenosis, the diseased valve has to be pre-dilated. To perform a true replacement the diseased valve has to be ablated and removed. In this article, we review the development of percutaneous valve replacement technology and discuss future prospects in this field.
