Saudi Arabia has seen a significant improvement in its healthcare system over the past four decades resulting in an increase in life-expectancy. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has spread widely in Saudi Arabia and has become a routine procedure in many centers. The expanding clinical indications and the availability of the technology have made it possible for many large and intermediate centers all over the country to commence their own TAVI programs. So, the aim of this document is to standardize TAVI practices in different Saudi Arabian centers through reasonable guidelines based on the evaluation and summarization of the best available evidence. The review committee, composed of different experts in several aspects of the management of patient undergoing TAVI, based their recommendations on the reviewed and analyzed evidence and the class and level of recommendations were discussed until a consensus was reached by the panel.
在过去的四十年里，沙特阿拉伯的医疗保健系统有了显著改善，这使得预期寿命得以提高。经导管主动脉瓣植入术（TAVI）在沙特阿拉伯广泛传播，并在许多中心成为常规手术。临床适应症的不断扩大和该技术的可获得性，使得沙特全国各地的许多大型和中型中心都能够开展自己的TAVI项目。因此，本文件的目的是通过基于对现有最佳证据的评估和总结而制定的合理指南，规范沙特不同中心的TAVI操作。由TAVI患者管理多个方面的不同专家组成的审查委员会，根据审查和分析的证据提出建议，并对建议的类别和级别进行了讨论，直到专家小组达成共识。
