Saudi Heart Association / National Heart Center / Saudi Arabian Cardiac Interventional Society / Saudi Society for Cardiac Surgeons / Saudi Cardiac Imaging Group 2023 TAVI Guidelines
Saudi Arabia has seen a significant improvement in its healthcare system over the past four decades resulting in an increase in life-expectancy. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has spread widely in Saudi Arabia and has become a routine procedure in many centers. The expanding clinical indications and the availability of the technology have made it possible for many large and intermediate centers all over the country to commence their own TAVI programs. So, the aim of this document is to standardize TAVI practices in different Saudi Arabian centers through reasonable guidelines based on the evaluation and summarization of the best available evidence. The review committee, composed of different experts in several aspects of the management of patient undergoing TAVI, based their recommendations on the reviewed and analyzed evidence and the class and level of recommendations were discussed until a consensus was reached by the panel.
