• What are the main factors to consider when evaluating a patient for aortic valve replacement? 
• What patient specific factors that may make a patient less suitable for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)?
• What are the advantages of each mechanical and biologic prostheses in treatment of aortic valve disease?
• What new technologies are available for management of aortic valve disease?
