Simplified transcatheter aortic valve implantation. An expert consensus of the Association of CardioVascular Interventions of Polish Cardiac Society
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the guideline-supported treatment of choice for older or higher-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. With expanding indications the community has faced substantial challenges in meeting the growing demand for TAVI procedures. This led to a transition towards simplification of the procedure and shortening of the hospital stay, defined together as the "fast-track", "minimalist" or "simplified" TAVI. Current data suggest that such approach can be adopted without compromising patients' safety if certain procedural standards are maintained. This document aims at providing a practical guide by highlighting best practices of simplified TAVI with particular focus on the specific features of Polish health care system.
