transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)

Understanding experiences of undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation: one-year follow-up

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the treatment of choice for frail, older adults with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Although research about long-term clinical outcomes is emerging, there is limited evidence from the perspectives of patients and family caregivers on their perceived benefits and challenges after TAVI. Aims: The aim of this study was to describe older adults and family caregivers’ perspectives on undergoing TAVI at one year post-procedure.
