Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is one of the procedures that changes the view of performing interventional procedures in cardiology. (1,2) A procedure is similar to cardiac catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention. Patient preparation requires some diagnostic tests and collection of relevant clinical data. From the beginning of process, nurses are involves as a member of the health team. Important is an open communication in which the patient has the opportunity to discuss his fears and concerns related to implantation, ask questions about the planned procedure, ask for explanation about follow up in the intensive care unit, verbalize the feeling of concern for family members and ask questions about the quality of life after the procedure.

TAVI is now a widely known and widespread method of treating severe aortic stenosis in patients who have a high risk for surgery or contraindication. The patient should be explained in a clear and understandable way the importance of the procedure, hospitalization, possible treatment outcomes, as well as possible risks and complications. Team cooperation and care reduce the risk of failure during preparation for the procedure, the occurrence of complications during execution and their minimization in recovery.

The patients with TAVI requires continuous care before, during and after the procedure in order to achieve the highest possible subjective quality of life.
