Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is standard for high-risk aortic stenosis. This case study details a successful transcarotid TAVR using regional anesthesia, offering an alternative when transfemoral access fails.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a primary treatment for severe aortic stenosis in high-risk patients.
- The transfemoral approach is most common, typically under monitored or general anesthesia.
- Alternative access routes are necessary when transfemoral access is not feasible.
