Local and general anaesthesia do not influence outcome of transfemoral aortic valve implantation.

Int. J. Cardiol.. 2014 Dec;177(2):448-54, PMID: 25443245

There is great variability for the type of anaesthesia used during TAVI, with no clear consensus coming from comparative studies or guidelines. We sought to detect regional differences in the anaesthetic management of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in Europe and to evaluate the relationship between type of anaesthesia and in-hospital and 1 year outcome.
