Key result
The implementation of a dedicated TAVI nurse role within a multidisciplinary program facilitates patient education, shared decision-making, and continuity of care throughout the TAVI process.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to describe the development of the TAVI nurse role as part of the reorganization of a specific multidisciplinary program for TAVI patients.
The implementation of a dedicated TAVI nurse role aims to improve patient education, care coordination, and follow-up, potentially optimizing resource use and patient quality of life.
May support dedicated TAVI nurse roles for enhanced care coordination; hypothesis-generating pending controlled outcome trials.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation, TAVI, is an effective and safe alternative to cardiac surgery for older patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) or with high surgical risk.The success of the procedure, advances in technology, more than favorable clinical results and a reduction in hospital stay are establishing TAVI as the standard in selected patients.The objective of the work is to describe the development of the TAVI nurse role as part of the reorganization of a specific multidisciplinary program for TAVI patients.The TAVI nurse participates in the TAVI program in the education and preparation of the patient before the procedure, ensuring that the patient arrives in the best conditions for the intervention, as well as in the followup after discharge, providing continuity in care throughout the process.A program that gives importance to quality of life, patient selection, shared decision making, expectations and the patient's experience during the process.The transition towards a minimally invasive TAVI process, together with the implementation of standardized care protocols and early discharge programs, will allow us to minimize the stay, the use of resources and therefore the costs of the process.Monitoring the results, both from a clinical point of view and from the patient's own perceived quality of life, will help detect areas for improvement.Nursing skills and experiences, maintaining an active role in the process, are ideal to

González-Cebrian et al. (2023) conducted a review in Severe aortic stenosis. TAVI nurse role implementation was evaluated. The implementation of a dedicated TAVI nurse role within a multidisciplinary program facilitates patient education, shared decision-making, and continuity of care throughout the TAVI process.
