French innovation developed rapidly in france thanks to an innovative register, france tavi.The introduction of transcatheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI) has transformed the care provided for patients with severe aortic stenosis. The first patient treated by this procedure was in France in 2002 and in order to support this innovation the HAS innovates by conditioning the reimbursement to the inclusion in a register. Under the responsibility of the French scientific cardiologic society, the France-TAVI register included more than 3,000 cases in just over 2 years. Its scientific quality allowed the first publication of a register in the New England Journal of Medicine.
