Remplacement percutané des valves sigmoïdiennes. Revue de la littérature

Surgery is no longer the only technique to replace a cardiac valve. New percutaneous procedures allow aortic or pulmonary valve implantation. Even if the feasibility of these procedures has been proved, cases reported are very rare and selected. This emergent technology is still at an early stage of development and new prospective studies will be necessary to evaluate these procedures correctly before concluding their clinical benefit. At this time surgery remains the gold standard in terms of cardiac valve replacement.
