In US practice, conscious sedation for TAVR is associated with shorter hospital stays and lower short-term mortality compared to general anesthesia, supporting its safety and feasibility.
Resumen
In US practice, conscious sedation is associated with briefer length of stay and lower in-hospital and 30-day mortality in comparison with TAVR with general anesthesia in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses. These results suggest the safety of conscious sedation in this population, although comparative effectiveness analyses using observational data cannot definitively establish the superiority of one technique over another.
