Deep Sedation versus General Anaesthesia for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair: An Individual-Patient Data Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Both, DS and GA might offer a similar safety profile. However, ICU stay seems to be shorter after DS. PMID: 33046436 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Transcarotid Route: the Ideal Alternative Access for TAVI?
CONCLUSIONS: The transcarotid route for TAVI is reproducible and associated with low rates of adverse neurological events, access-related complications and bleeding complications. Routine use of locoregional anesthesia is feasible. Careful surgical management of the common carotid artery is pivotal. PMID: 31186217 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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]
