Feasibility and Safety of Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement Using Local Anesthesia in the Catheterization Suite Versus General Anesthesia in the Operation Theater
This study suggests that the simplified approach for TF-TAVR is as safe and successful as the standard approach, even for patients with greater comorbidities and operative risk. These findings could extend the simplified approach to younger, lower-risk patients, optimizing hospital resource use and reducing waiting times for TAVR.
