| Description | In the Czech Republic the first TAVI was performed in Prague, IKEM in December 2008. During a short period of time the TAVI programme was initiated also in other complex cardiovascular centres in Hradec Kralove, Brno, Prague - FN Kralovske Vinohrady and Trinec. Including the later starting centres (Usti n. Labem, Olomouc, Ceske Budejovice and other three centres in Prague - Nemocnice na Homolce, FN Motol and VFN) there is a total of 11 centres providing the TAVI at present. All centres except one (FN Motol) are part of the Czech TAVI Registry that was developed with the support of the Czech Society of Cardiology and started on 1 September, 2010. |
