Abstract
Important differences still exist in the management of patients who receive TAVR in Europe and in the USA. Provisional participation of cardiovascular surgeons and imaging cardiologists, use of TEE, general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, and length of stay are some of the major differences which may define the future of TAVR in the USA. TAVR procedure will most likely be performed without CT surgery presence and with limited echocardiographic imaging guidance in USA in the near future as it is already being done in Europe.
