Why the study?
Does local anesthesia (MAC) improve short-term outcomes compared to general anesthesia in patients undergoing TAVR?
Does local anesthesia (MAC) improve short-term outcomes compared to general anesthesia in patients undergoing TAVR?
Local anesthesia (MAC) for TAVR appears to have similar short-term outcomes to general anesthesia while potentially reducing procedural time and hospital length of stay.
Supports MAC consideration in TAVR for efficiency gains; extends Level 1 evidence on anesthesia strategies.
