🫀 Why do some patients develop excessive inflammation after TAVI?
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) triggers an inflammatory response in almost all patients — but its intensity and clinical impact vary widely.
A review explores how patient characteristics, procedural factors, and inflammatory biomarkers may help identify high-risk inflammatory profiles and guide future personalized management.
