A minimally invasive anaesthetic approach for transcatheter aortic valve implantation: is this really supported by the evidence?

Listen to this summary

The authors critically assess the evidence supporting a shift towards minimally invasive anaesthetic techniques for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), as recommended by a recent interdisciplinary consensus. They compare observational data with findings from randomized controlled trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these approaches, ultimately advocating for a tailored anaesthetic strategy that prioritizes patient safety and procedural success.
