Percutaneous aortic valve implantation; Aortic stenosis; nursing care
Abstract :
[en] Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly performed and represents a relatively safe alternative treatment for high risk patients denied to surgical aortic valve replacement. TAVI is performed at the University Hospital of Liege since July 2008 with the Medtronic CoreValve Revalving® system by femoral or subclavian access. This paper exposed the technique of TAVI and the nursing care required after this procedure.
