Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is non-inferior to surgical aortic valve replacement in managing severe aortic stenosis. It has been the treatment of choice for patients who would be unsuitable for surgical aortic valve replacement. Patient selection and workup involves a rigorous process to ensure a successful outcome, and patient monitoring is crucial during and after the procedure. Nurses play an important role throughout these stages, so developing their understanding of the different processes involved in each step of the procedure is imperative. This article provides an overview of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, from patient selection and workup to peri-procedure, highlighting considerations for nurses across these stages. It includes the most relevant and recent literature on transcatheter aortic valve implantation for evidence-based nursing care, such as the monitoring of complications, early mobilisation and next-day discharge. Furthermore, it includes discussion of future considerations and research on transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
