Anaesthetic management of transcatheter aortic valve implantation: results from the Italian CoreValve registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that, in experienced centres which have gone beyond their initial learning curve with TAVI, the use of local anaesthesia in a selected patient population can be associated with good clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, as severe procedural complications are possible, an anaesthesiologist should always be present as part of the team. PMID: 25772903 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
