Transcatheter aortic valve implantation under conscious sedation - the first Indian experience.

چکیده
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is maturing strongly as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients who are inoperable/high risk for open heart surgery. General anesthesia (GA) is the usual mode of anesthesia in these patients, but local anesthesia with conscious sedation (LACS) has recently been described as a safe alternative with some added advantages. We report 2 cases who were unfit for GA and were done successfully under LACS.

How to reduce costs in transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Correspondence to Dr Stefan Toggweiler; [email protected] During the past few years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a mature procedure, results have become reproducible and safety has increased. Nevertheless, the overall cost for TAVI is still higher than the cost for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), mainly due to the higher price of the valve. In thi...
متن کاملTowards minimally invasiveness: transcatheter aortic valve implantation under local analgesia exclusively.
Background: Both, general anaesthesia (GA) and local analgesia (LA) with or without sedation are options for periprocedural anaesthetic management of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We report the safety and feasibility of TAVI under LA and provide our own experience in the largest cohort so far reported. Methods: A total of 178 consecutive patients planned for trans...

متن کاملAnesthetic Implications of Chronic Lung Disease in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Valve Implantation.
ONE QUARTER OF patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have evidence of chronic lung disease (CLD), obstructive or mixed. CLD is recognized as a major risk factor for perioperative morbidity and mortality. Specifically, the presence of CLD is a risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications and an independent predictor of 1-year mortality related to cardiovascu...
متن کاملAnaesthesia Techniques in Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: a Brief Review
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative, less invasive method to use for aortic valve replacement in high-risk patients. This operation allows a faster recovery, reduced tissue damage, less postoperative pain, increased patient satisfaction, reduced intensive care unit (ICU) stay, avoidance of ICU admission, reduced hospital stay, and reduced wound infection rates. A re...
