title: Is it time to simplify the TAVI procedure? "Make it simple but not too simple".
abstract: As transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) becomes a standardised procedure with reproducible and excellent periprocedural, early and medium-term outcomes, it is opportune to question whether the time has come to simplify the TAVI procedure. In some centres, a minimalist approach to TAVI is already the standard of care. In this perspective, we share our experience and opinions on how and when we can simplify the TAVI procedure.
