  • Cordis 260J
  • Safari Wire (DANIELS & SPIES)
  • Amplatz Extra Stiff 1cm tip (GROVES)

  • .035 Standard Straight for Valve-in-Valve crossing, no need for glidewire.
  • Acist hand control
  • (3) Perclose
  • A extension line from anesthesia (Venous extension only if we are doing bipolar pacing)
  • 5Fr AL1 diagnostic 
  • 5Fr Ang Pigtail x 2
    • Valve-in-valve: Mosaic needs pigtail, all others do not.
  • 6Fr JL4/JR4 (when doing coronary angiography)
  • Exofin topical adhesive
  • NuKnit for closure

Unipolar Transvenous pacing supplies (Daniels preference)

  • Alligator Clip Remington Pacing Cables
  • TZ Medical Defibrillation Pads - Found in EP pyxis in labs. Large pad utilized as a grounding pad on the patients chest (subxyphoid)

Note Protip: For patients with AI you don't need the Glidewire or AL1. Use second pigtail to cross.


Medications on table:

  • Lido/Bupivicaine 50/50
  • Epinephrine 10mcg/ml in red medallion syringe (From anesthesia)
  • 10 ml Rotaglide yellow syringe

Edwards:

  • Crimper
  • Indeflator
  • Appropriate delivery system and valve

Standby ECMO & Pericardial Effusion supplies

Sentinel:

  • Grandslam 300cm
  • 5/6 Slender
  • 2.5 Verapamil
  • DSA at 6fps of aortic arch with contralateral pigtail
  • Don't open sentinel until we see the Grandslam advanced to the arch
  • Prep instructions in lab 1 on the wall next to the light switches

For coronary protection:

  • Radial access OR 12F dryseal in LFA if using sentinel
  • 6F JL4
  • Runthrough
  • coronary balloon on md request
  • 22G Grey Lido needle for Spies

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.
  • Extension tubing for anesthesia flushed and secured on respecitve sides of the groin .

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)
  • 10ml syringe of Epi on table.
  • U/S guidance for groin access

BACK TABLE- valve prep

  • 3 Bowls: (1) 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
  • 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 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 EDP and gradient.
  • 8F sheath removed and E Sheath advanced.
  • Insert valve delivery system
  • Test pacer, black alligator clip on back of wire.
  • Pacing : Unipolar Pacing - pace 120 - 180 , V max output 20ma. "Dial up to 180, dial down to 120, per MD request"
  • Pacing : Bipolar pacing - pace 160 with 220 burst , A max output 25ma, set RAP to 220.
  • Multiple AO grams for positioning
  • Pace -> AO gram -> Pigtail pulled back -> Deploy valve
    • Cine length set at 40 seconds or more
  • TTE

if post dilation is needed...

Rep will come up and re-prep valve, adding desired amount of additional volume

If Safari was pulled back, recross wire will be needed (260cm angled stiff glide)

  • Pigtail readvanced to AO for AO gram (15/30 standard injection)
  • Safari exchanged for 260 J
  • Delivery system removed
    • Have second perclose, tools and dilator ready
  • Protamine given, Preclosures completed, manual pressure for 5ish minutes
  • Pigtail pulled back to iliac bifurcation and subtracted iliac angio performed (6/18 on Acist)
  • Pigtail removed
  • Secondary access Perclose
  • Exofin all access sites, no dressing needed.
