We update the "2021 expert consensus on clinical pathway for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in China" using the Delphi method. By searching for evidence related to the clinical pathways of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in PubMed, CIKI, and Wanfang Database over the past four years, 35 core viewpoints were proposed in four directions: TAVR team composition and clinical evaluation, perioperative imaging assessment, surgical process, and perioperative and postoperative long-term management of patients. The specific updates include: refining the responsibilities and composition of the TAVR team, clarifying the steps and content of clinical evaluation; emphasizing the core position of CT in perioperative imaging assessment, and introducing the application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, numerical simulation, and 3D printing; optimizing the TAVR surgical process, including anesthesia selection, access establishment, valve selection and release, and others; and proposing management strategies for special types of patients (such as emergency TAVR, simplified TAVR, pure aortic regurgitation, combined coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation). In addition, the consensus also emphasizes the importance of postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation, and provides detailed antithrombotic and rehabilitation guidance. The update of this consensus will further promote the standardized development of TAVR technology in China and improve clinical treatment effects.
