Why the study?
Due to the rapid expansion in the use of TAVI over 16 years, there is a need to optimise TAVI programmes to ensure efficiency.
This article provides a framework for optimizing the TAVI clinical pathway to improve efficiency from screening to discharge.
May support TAVI pathway efficiency amid expansion; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been in use for 16 years. As there has been a rapid expansion in its use, there is a need to optimise TAVI programmes to ensure efficiency. In this article, the authors discuss the reasons why clinicians need to make the TAVI pathway more efficient and describe the most important steps to take from screening to early discharge, including procedural optimisation.
