Registry Study on Anesthesia During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation TAVI Procedures

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation TAVI, an emerging procedure used in high-risk cardiac surgery and cardiology patients who are often considered inoperable by conventional means. This observational study aims to understand the specific anesthesiologic challenges faced by cardiac anesthesiologists during these procedures. The study is sponsored by Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen and focuses on improving perioperative care in this high-risk group. This study involves monitoring patients who receive TAVI, without any experimental treatments or interventions. The study observes the anesthesia process and perioperative care during the procedure. There are no comparison groups or drug treatments involved. Participants will be observed during the perioperative period, specifically for one day around the time of the procedure. Researchers will collect data on anesthesiology care and related cardiac events during the operation. Additionally, participants may be followed for up to 10 years to assess longer-term outcomes. The study does not involve any additional treatments and focuses on collecting observational data to better understand anesthesia management in TAVI.
