Abstract:Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a viable treatment option for high-risk patients with symptomatic, senile degenerative aortic stenosis. Since the first TAVI in 2002, the technology has evolved tremendously. With the downsizing of the device delivery catheter profile, vascular access site complications have decreased significantly. Current access routes are transfemoral, subclavian, transapical and transaortic, with most centres preferring a ‘transfemoral-first’ strategy. Other sig… Show more
“…At our hospital, all valve procedures are performed in a designated class 1a hybrid cardiovascular operating room with laminar air flow (Philips/MAQUET) . All valve procedures are performed by the heart team under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, and invasive hemodynamic monitoring.…”

“…All valve procedures are performed by the heart team under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Procedures were guided by state of the art high‐definition fluoroscopy (Philips Healthcare) , and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (EPIQ7, Philips Healthcare). Patients were positioned supine, and the left ventricular (LV) apex accessed with a left lateral thoracotomy.…”
