Summary
This study looked at 170 adults getting a new heart valve (TAVR) to see if using lighter sedation (MAC) instead of general anesthesia leads to shorter hospital stays and fewer ICU visits. Researchers also checked if using a special ultrasound during general anesthesia helps the valve work better. The goal is to find the safest and most efficient way to do this common heart procedure.
