NICaS bio-impedance detected short-term hemodynamic changes post-TAVI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Objectives and Background: To investigate short-term hemodynamic improvement following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) using the non-invasive NICaS whole body electrical bio-impedance monitoring system. Methods: 52 unselected patients subjected to TAVI were analysed between January and September 2018. Endovascular TAVI was applied in local anaesthesia and analgosedation in all patients using the Medtronic Evolut R (n=32), Edwards Sapien 3 (n=14) or Boston Scientific SYMETIS ACURATE neo TF (n=4) system. NICaS measurements were performed at baseline, six to eight hours after TAVI procedure and before discharge.
