Since the first successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was performed globally in 2002, the TAVR technology has become increasingly mature. With more than a decade of development in our country, its application experience, device research and development, procedural improvements, evidence-based medicine, and guideline updates have continuously progressed, leading to a significant increase in the number of procedures conducted. Compared to traditional surgical operations, TAVR has different postoperative monitoring points and principles for the prevention and management of complications, necessitating the formulation of corresponding monitoring and treatment protocols that align with the technical characteristics of the procedure. This guideline is based on clinical practice and incorporates both domestic and international literature as well as the experiences of Fuwai Hospital. It distills and organizes routine postoperative monitoring practices, process optimization, and complication management for TAVR, establishing a set of practical guidelines for postoperative monitoring in China. These guidelines have strong practical value for optimizing postoperative management strategies and preventing and managing complications, which is beneficial for early functional recovery of patients, shortening hospital stays, and reducing complication rates. They provide guidance and reference for domestic peers and support the standardized development and quality improvement of postoperative management for TAVR in China.
