Increased demand for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures for patients with severe aortic stenosis has not been matched with a proportional increase in available resources in recent years. This article highlights the importance of developing integrated care pathways for TAVI, which incorporate standardised protocols for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) to ensure best practice, increase service efficiency and reduce rates of PPI post-TAVI.
近年来,严重主动脉瓣狭窄患者对经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)的需求不断增加,但可用资源却未相应成比例增加。本文强调了为TAVI制定综合护理路径的重要性,该路径纳入了永久性起搏器植入(PPI)的标准化方案,以确保最佳实践、提高服务效率并降低TAVI术后的PPI发生率。
