Efficacy and Safety of General Anaesthesia versus Local Anaesthesia with IV Sedation in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

Reham Salah, Ahmed Kamel Abdelghany Hassan, Sherif Ahmed Kamal Elhendawy

The optimal anesthetic approach for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains a subject of ongoing debate. Although general anesthesia (GA) allows greater procedural control and airway security, local anesthesia with conscious sedation (LACS) may facilitate faster postoperative recovery and reduce procedure-related complications. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of GA versus CS in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI.
