Basics of the Cath Lab: TAVR Resources for CVPs, Fellows, and the Cath Curious-Cath Lab Prep for TAVR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video outlines the setup for a standard transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. Two tables are prepared: one for valve prep and another for access and catheter exchange equipment. Key supplies include drapes, gowns, gloves, ultrasound probe covers with gel, micropuncture kits, various sheaths and wires (radial, venous, arterial), and closure devices like Perclose ProGlides. The procedure involves arterial and venous access, pre-closure over preferred wires, insertion of the delivery sheath, pigtail catheter placement, and temporary pacing wire setup. The valve is crossed with an AL1 catheter using straight and safari wires before deployment.
