Today, TAVI seems to play a key and a reliable role in the treatment of intermediate and maybe low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. TAVI has also evolved from a complex and hazardous procedure into an effective and safe therapy by the development of new generation devices. This article aims to review the background and future of TAVI, elinieal trials and registries with old and new generation TAVI devices and to focus on some open issues related to post-procedural outcomes.展开更多

All cancer patients who get chemotherapy for a longer period, at some time, will present a vascular peripheral fragility. The TIVAD （totally implanted venous access device）, also called ＂Port＂, is a good option for these patients since it facilitates a safe access for the treatment. The Port＇s permeability maintenance is done with a saline solution after any infusion and at the end of the infusion.展开更多
