Minimally invasive approach to calcified aortic valve replacement: Anaesthetic considerations

Minimally invasive approach to calcified aortic valve replacement: Anaesthetic considerations

For symptomatic patients with severe calcified aortic valve stenosis, open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement remains the gold standard. However, elderly patients with an increased risk profile can be treated by using transcatheter approaches (transcatheter aortic valve implantation [TAVI])....
