Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an alternative treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis, it is conventionally performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia plus sedation. We present the first case of trans-femoral, trans-catheter aortic valve implantation, performed in our hospital in a patient with severe aortic stenosis, who was a high surgical risk. Anaesthesia consisted of a combination of bilateral selective blockade of the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerves with the patient awake without sedation, using an ultrasound-guided approach. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was successful and passed without incident, the patient remained immobile, calm, did not report pain, and sedation or hypnotics were not necessary during dilation of the vascular accesses with the introducer. Standard monitoring demonstrated haemodynamic stability, without cardiovascular repercussions and did not necessitate vasopressor or inotropic drug support. After the intervention, the patient was sent to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, where he remained asymptomatic and stable. Subsequently, the patient was admitted to the cardiology ward from where he was discharged without complications.

Resumen

El implante de la válvula aórtica transcatéter es una alternativa al tratamiento de pacientes con estenosis aórtica severa, se realiza convencionalmente en anestesia general o anestesia local más sedación. Presentamos el primer caso de implante valvular aórtico transcatéter por vía transfemoral realizado en nuestro hospital en un paciente con estenosis aórtica severa con riesgo quirúrgico alto. La anestesia consistió en la combinación de bloqueo bilateral selectivo de los nervios iliohipogástrico, ilioinguinal y genitofemoral con el paciente despierto sin sedación, mediante el abordaje guiado por ecografía. El implante valvular aórtico transcatéter fue exitoso y transcurrió sin incidencias, el paciente se mantuvo inmóvil, tranquilo, no refirió dolor y no fue necesario suministrar sedantes/hipnóticos durante la dilatación de los accesos vasculares con los introductores. La monitorización estándar mostró estabilidad hemodinámica sin repercusión cardiovascular y no requirió apoyo de fármacos vasopresores o inotropos. Tras la intervención el paciente fue enviado a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Cardiológicos, donde se mantuvo asintomático y estable. Posteriormente el paciente ingresó en la sala de cardiología de la que fue dado de alta sin complicaciones.
