title: Learning curves for TAVR: Not quite see one, do one teach one.
abstract: The learning curve for TAVR is determined based on technical (procedural) data from PARTNER-1 Trial The number of cases needed to reach a learning curve for TAVR in PARTNER-1 was 50 for original sites and fell to 25 for late entering sites Analyses such as this is important in developing guidelines for other emerging technologies.
