The COVID 19 pandemic had resulted in a 25% (10-80) reduction of case
volume and 53% of operators required triaging to manage their patients
with severe aortic stenosis. The two most important parameters used to
triage were symptoms and valve area. Periprocedural changes included the
introduction of teleconsultation, pre-procedure COVD 19 testing,
optimization of pre-tests and catheterization laboratory set up. In
addition, length of stay was reduced from a mean of 4.4 to 4 days.
