Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular disease globally. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a well-established treatment for aortic stenosis, offering outcomes comparable to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Its use has expanded to include younger, lower-risk patients and those with more complex anatomies. Recent advancements in TAVR include the increased adoption of transfemoral access, prosthesis designs optimized for challenging anatomies, enhanced delivery systems with repositioning capabilities, and outer skirts to minimize paravalvular leaks. Despite these innovations, several challenges remain. This review highlights recent updates in transcatheter heart valve (THV) systems, leaflet modification devices, and the current limitations of TAVR.
