[1]TAVR, also sometimes referred to as TAVI [Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation], is an alternative to surgical repair/replacement of heavily diseased/calcified aortic valves contributing to significant aortic stenosis. It involves placing an artificial valve over the existing diseased aortic valve, guided by angiography and fluoroscopy.
There are many techniques
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Neurologic | Preoperative neurological deficits/previous CVA with residual deficit |
| Cardiovascular | Symptoms of AS and functional status, LV EF |
| Pulmonary | Coexisting pulmonary disease |
| Gastrointestinal | |
| Hematologic | |
| Renal | |
| Endocrine | |
| Other |
Labs and studies
Type and Screen usually sufficient or type and cross ~2 units - check with local site for usual practice
Operating room setup
- Often done in remote anesthesia setting, so have emergency cardiac drugs available in case of severe hemorrhage, as TAVR deployment can disrupt cardiac structure/function.
- Heparin/protamine prepared
- Infusion and bolus pressors ready for BP swings with rapid pacing.
Patient preparation and premedication
Typically on antiplatelet medications, which should be taken the morning of surgery as well.
Regional and neuraxial techniques
N/A
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
2 PIVs: one for infusion. one for push line.
If doing MAC: do not need to place an invasive A-line. Cardiologists will place a femoral and radial A-line that will monitor aortic and LV pressures; these can be used intra-op by the anesthesia team to monitor BP. Can use a non-invasive a-line such as a clear-sight if available.
If doing GA, place arterial line prior to induction.
Induction and airway management
For MAC, a very small bolus of propofol is adequate prior to starting maintenance infusions.
Positioning
Supine, arms tucked
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- For MAC cases, can consider starting with remifentanil 0.02 mcg/kg/min titrated to effect +/- propofol 20mcg/kg/min titrated to effect.
- Arterial access is obtained and LVOT and LV pressures are transduced (to measure transaortic pressure gradient).
- Venous access is obtained for transvenous pacing. Rapid pacing will be induced during TAVR deployment, resulting in significant hypotension that may warrant treatment if persistent following completion of rapid pacing.
- Pacing may also be performed through native pacemaker if already present in patient.
- For MAC cases, assess neurological status following deployment of valve.
Emergence
Postoperative management
Disposition
Usually cardiology floor with telemetry
Pain management
Pain control is not usually difficult. Most patients have difficulty with back pain/aches due to laying flat for several hours after groin access.
Potential complications
- Complete heart block, MI, aortic dissection, contrast induced nephropathy, perivalvular leaks
- Stroke - risk can be minimized with use of sentinel device
- Valvular access site issues: Groin seromas, femoral artery dissection, thrombosis with lower extremity ischemia, retroperitoneal hematoma
- Transapical approach: new onset MR, pericardial effusion, pneumothorax, late apical rupture
- Pericardial effusion/tamponade
- Obstruction of coronary arteries: dependent on coronary heights (<12 mm for both right and left coronaries have been established as a risk factor), but more likely to happen for valve-in-valve procedures

| Potential complications | Same as above but slightly higher risk of coronary artery obstruction |
