A new study conducted at Anthea Hospital in Bari, Italy, has examined the outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a procedure used to treat aortic valve disease. The study found that emergent conversion to open heart surgery was necessary in a small percentage of cases, but the presence of a complete cardiac rescue team improved survival rates. The researchers concluded that surgical treatment should be used only to address complications, while percutaneous approaches should be the primary method for completing the procedure. This research provides valuable insights into improving outcomes for patients undergoing TAVI. [Extracted from the article] |
