Summary

This study tested a new sedative called ciprofol against the standard drug propofol for patients undergoing a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVR). The goal was to see if ciprofol causes fewer drops in blood pressure after anesthesia. 124 older adults (ages 60-85) participated. The results could help make anesthesia safer for this high-risk group.
