Procedural Information
Overall, the mean duration in the catheterization laboratory/hybrid suite was 192.8 ± 59.3 min, the mean
total procedure time was 86.3 ± 44.2 min, and the mean total anesthesia time was 193.7 ± 62.9 min.
These duration times were slightly shorter in the TF patients. General anesthesia was used in the vast
majority of cases; 15.9% of the TF patients had conscious sedation. Correct positioning of the valve was
achieved in 99.1% of the patients. Five patients (0.9%; including 3 TF patients) were implanted with a
second valve. One patient (0.2%) experienced valve embolization following rupture of the delivery balloon
on annular calcium. This patient was converted to surgical aortic valve replacement and later died from
aortic dissection.
