Abstract

Severe aortic valve stenosis is a common medical problem with rising prevalence in older adults, affecting their health outcomes and quality of life. Previously, patients have often undergone standard surgeries, such as aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy; however, this approach might not be suitable for patients with a high surgical risk. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation has, thus, become an increasingly preferred alternative surgery since it could minimize mortality and adverse consequences. Additionally, this technique could reduce hospital stay durations and minimize wound size. However, some risks could also arise. Consequently, this essay attempts to present how nursing care is offered, covering the pre-and post-operative periods, and self-care once patients have returned home to prevent disease recurrence while enhancing the patient's quality of life and achieving health outcomes.
