Popis:	Introduction: Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is less invasive and becomes an alternative therapy reserved for patients with high operative risk. Hemodynamic stability is the main objective of anesthetic management during TAVI. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia are both valid alternatives and can be applied according to the patient's characteristics and procedural instances. Case Report: We report a 80-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital for worsening dyspnea caused by severe aortic stenosis. TAVI was performed under local anesthesia and light sedation without complications. Conclusion: Successful TAVI requires a multidisciplinary team of which cardiac anesthesiologists are a crucial part.
