Description
Summary:Key Points As indications for TAVR continue to grow, experienced centers strive to adopt further minimally invasive techniques and continue to improve outcomes. Meta‐analysis of the available data demonstrate that conscious sedation is associated with decreased ICU and hospitalization time, and is not associated with decreased procedural efficacy or safety. Randomized Controlled clinical Trial data will be needed to confirm observational findings suggesting decreased mortality with conscious sedation versus general anesthesia.
