Deep Sedation With a Natural Airway is a Viable Alternative to General Anesthesia With Endotracheal Tube for Isolated Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation.
This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of deep sedation as an alternative to general anesthesia for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation.
Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation.
Comparison between deep sedation and general anesthesia techniques.
Assessment of periprocedural complications associated with each method.
Deep sedation was associated with a significant decrease in periprocedural complications compared to general anesthesia.
Statistical analysis showed a p-value of <.001.
Abstract
= .001). Overall, we found that deep sedation is feasible for TPVI and in this retrospective study was associated with decreased periprocedural complications.
