Abstract

The game changer in the field of treatment for Aortic Stenosis in patients with high operative risk for surgical aortic valve replacement is Trans catheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Most TAVI have been done under General Anesthesia (GA) with Trans Esophageal Echocardiography (TEE). GA in this patient group is hazardous and is associated with significant complications. The aim of the present study was to study and compare the outcome of patients among those who underwent TAVI with general anesthesia against those who underwent TAVI with Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC).
