TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT (TAVR) is an effective alternative to surgery
for many patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.
1
As devices and techniques for valve deployment evolve, so makes the anesthetic choice.
Most patients undergoing TAVR receive sedation, though nearly a fifth of all TAVR
centers in the United States exclusively use general anesthesia (GA).
2
Despite the trend toward sedation, the best type of anesthesia for TAVR has yet to
be determined.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
