Management of Nursing Care for Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI): Approaches, Practices, and Clinical Guidelines

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat severe aortic stenosis, particularly in patients at high surgical risk. Nurses play a critical role in all phases of care for patients undergoing TAVI—from preoperative preparation and intraoperative monitoring to postoperative care and rehabilitation. In the preoperative period, nurses assess the patient's physical and psychological status, conduct educational sessions to inform the patient and their family, and coordinate preoperative investigations. During the procedure, they assist the interventional team by maintaining a sterile environment and monitoring the patient's vital signs. In the postoperative period, nurses are responsible for continuous patient monitoring, pain management, and the prevention of complications such as bleeding, infections, and thromboembolic events. Additionally, they play a key role in the patient's rehabilitation, aiding recovery through early mobilization and providing guidelines for follow-up care. This article explores clinical guidelines and evidence-based practices for nursing care in TAVI, which help improve patient outcomes and minimize risks. It also discusses the challenges and future directions in enhancing nursing practice for these patients.
