Nurse TAVI Coordinator: Clinical Insights, Competence Management, and Future Directions
Severe aortic stenosis is an increasingly prevalent valvular condition due to population aging, associated with debilitating symptoms and high mortality when left untreated. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has revolutioned the management of aortic valve disease by providing a minimally invasive alternative that reduces hospital stays and enhances clinical outcomes. In this context, the TAVI Nurse Coordinator plays a crucial role in overseeing the entire patient care pathway. This includes conducting comprehensive frailty assessments and educating both patients and caregivers during the preoperative phase, as well as managing postprocedural follow-up - ensuring seamless multidisciplinary coordination and personalized patient care.
