The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of patients who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) during a live case or video-taped transmission as compared to those without procedure transmission.
A series of sites from outside the US, where the Edwards-Sapien and CoreValve devices are approved for commercial sale and implantation, will be recruited to retrospectively identify and extract in-hospital data of a patient who underwent TAVI during a live or video-taped procedure and a matched patient who underwent TAVI without transmission of the procedure.
