TAVI MODULE
This module provides practice of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treatment of aortic stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency.
Practiced steps:
- Introducing a pigtail into the aortic root
- Finding the optimal projection for annular plane visualization
- Measuring pre and post-procedure pressure gradients
- Introducing a stiff guide wire into the left ventricle
- Performing rapid/fast pacing and aortic valve valvuloplasty
- Positioning and accurately deploying an aortic valve bioprosthesis
Learning Objectives:
- To practice TAVI procedural steps
- To manage and plan an intervention in varied patient anatomies and pathologies
- To learn how to correctly size the aortic valve bioprosthesis
- To handle procedural complications
