Hemodynamic stability is the main goal of the anesthetic method during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Pain during the procedure may cause patients to move therefore hemodynamic instability. This may lead to undesirable complications for the patient and the physician. At the same time, it may affect the process quality and cause the processing time to be extended. In this prospective-randomised clinical trial, ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plan block will be performed to reduce pain. We aimed to contribute to the reduction of undesirable outcomes for the patient and physician by providing adequate anesthesia with Transversus Abdominis Plan (TAP) block accompanied by sedation, and to present its impact on the quality of the healthcare service provided by evaluating patient and physician satisfaction.
