TCT-639 TAVI in local anesthesia without general anesthesia or deep sedation, a single center comparison of 30-day clinical outcome between balloon-expandable and self-expandable valves

Most centers perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation TAVI under general anesthesia (GA) or deep sedation (DS). TAVI under local anesthesia (LA) might result in less periprocedural episodes of hypotension, shorter procedure time and hospital stay. The aim of this study was to compare
