Heart valve surgery: is being fully asleep or just sedated safer?
NCT ID NCT04347603
Summary
This study aimed to find out if using general anesthesia (being fully asleep) is as safe as using local anesthesia with sedation (being numbed and drowsy) for a common heart valve replacement procedure. It involved 218 patients with severe aortic valve narrowing. Researchers compared safety, recovery time, and patient comfort between the two approaches over 30 days.
