TAVI - Sapien 3 (Edwards)

From Bay Area Structural Heart Wiki

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Repair (Wikipedia) procedures utilize a femoral approach to deliver a stent-based aortic valve to the patients heart. There are two valve types available:

This procedure is usually done in Room 1, and requires a 5 person team: Front table scrub, Back table scrub (device prep), Circulator, Pacer/Circulator, and Recorder. The rep for the respective company will be present to assist with device prep except in the case of an emergency valve placement.

In rare cases, the BASILICA procedure will be necessary to split the existing valve leaflets to prevent blockage of the coronary arteries. In that situation, the equipment on the BASILICA page will be needed in addition to the equipment listed below.

Per Rosalie:

TAVR/TMVI

  1. Edwards Sapien 3 Ultra (20, 23 & 26mm) and Sapien 3 (29mm) – scan the valve barcode (box) in McKesson for documentation and charges.  Bundle includes valve, delivery system, crimper, e sheath intro set, balloon cath & locking syringe.  With the new inventory system (POU) space is limited in entering item full description.   If pre dilatation Edwards balloon is necessary free text the balloon used in procedure notes (McKesson).
  2. Medtronic Core Valve – all items are charge separately.  Scan all barcodes (delivery system, loading system and valve).

Procedure

SEE BELOW FOR STEPS SPECIFIC TO SPIES and AGRAWAL

  • Patient on defib pads. IF PATIENT HAS ICD: DEVICE DISABLED FOR PROCEDURE, COMPANY REP PRESENT IF POSSIBLE.
  • Leg strap secured above knees. Wrists restrained.
  • Patient prepped from naval to mid thigh using chlorahexidine soap followed by chloraprep with 3 minute dry time.
  • Towel off site. Extend Femoral drape all the way to chin.
  • Fluoro cover used to drape anesthesia's IV pole/x-ray shield.
  • Extension tubing for anesthesia flushed and secured on respecitve sides of the groin .
  • Dual pressure lines primed and zeroed prior to case start.

FRONT TABLE

  • 50/50 Lido and Bupivacaine mix used for local anesthetic. Have extra available on front table.
  • 1-1.5 L of Hep Saline in large bowl
  • 10ml of Rotaglide on table (Attached to E sheath with a 20ml flush of hep saline)
  • 10ml syringe of Epi taped on table.
  • U/S guidance for groin access

BACK TABLE- valve prep

  • 4 Bowls: (2) Normal Saline (500ml in each bowl) (1) Hep Saline (500ml) (1) 30ml contrast (170ml Hep Saline added to by scrub person to make it 15%)
  • 20 ml of contrast in cup (100% contrast available on table. May need for hand injection or for peripheral balloon prep)
  • 60ml Syringe with contrast mixture for balloon prep.
  • 20ml Syringe for flushing delivery system
  • Indeflator: volume dependent upon valve size
  • Crimper
  • Hemostats and scissors for valve opening
  • High pressure stopcock

PROCEDURE STEPS

  • Contralateral arterial access - 6fr. Sheath (normally LFA) using micropuncture. Verify wire position with fluoro and save an image.
  • Primary access - with micropuncture. Verify wire position with fluoro and save an image
    • Pre-close x 1, sutures secured with hemostat.
    • 8F sheath reconstituted and advanced after pre-closure.
  • Pigtail -> LFA -> AO root injection
    • Standard Injector settings (adjusted based on pt and root size)

10/10 20mm valve, 15/15 23mm and 26mm valve, 20/20 29mm valve

  • AL1 advanced through 8F sheath over standard J.
  • Standard J removed and crossing wire advanced. Cross valve. Wire removed.
  • Measure gradient...maybe
  • 8F sheath removed and E Sheath advanced.
  • Insert valve delivery system
