title: Intensive care unit management of transcatheter aortic valve recipients.
abstract: Severe aortic stenosis is an increasingly prevalent disease that continues to be associated with significant mortality. Transcatheter aortic valve replacements have been used as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in high-risk patients with multiple comorbidities. In this review, we discuss postoperative considerations pertinent to the successful management of these complicated patients in the intensive care unit.
