Objective To study the nursing methods for patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods From April 2012 to August 2013, 25 patients undergoing TAVI before returning to the coronary care unit (CCU) were included in this study. We reviewed the clinical nursing methods and summarized the clinical nursing experiences. Results Among the 25 patients, there were 1 case complicated with retroperitoneal hematoma, 1 case with hemorrhage of upper digestive tract, 1 case with severe hemorrhage of femoral artery incision site, 1 case with mild hemorrhage of femoral artery puncture site, 1 case with catheter-related infections of right external jugular vein, and 2 cases with hemorrhage related to the loosening of radial artery invasive blood pressure monitoring. All the complications were controlled by reasonable treatments and all the patients were transferred out from CCU with stable vital signs. The mean time of CCU stay was 29 hours ranging from 14 hours to 243 hours. Conclusion Due to special characteristics of patients after TAVI, we should observe carefully, follow the nursing operation rules strictly, discover complications timely, give treatment correctly, and finally ensure the safety of patients during the high risk period.
