Establishing a TAVI program

Sydney Heart Team principal, Professor Michael Vallely, describes how to establish a TAVI program in the attached paper. Professor Vallely highlights some of the key philosophies and approaches of our program, including:

• The development of a deeply integrated multi-disciplinary heart team that combines doctors with surgical and catheter-based skills to get the best results in difficult patients
   
• Adoption of a comprehensive and holistic approach to assessing and treating our patients that integrates multiple dimensions of their clinical situation.
