This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different ways to numb the hip and groin area to reduce pain after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve. About 60 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a pericapsular nerve block or a fascia iliaca block—both are numbing injections guided by ultrasound—to see which one works better for pain control after surgery.
Many older adults or patients with serious health conditions cannot safely undergo traditional open-heart surgery for a narrow aortic valve. TAVI offers a less invasive option, but patients still experience pain during recovery. This study aims to find the most effective pain relief method to improve comfort and healing after this procedure.

Before your TAVI procedure, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of two types of numbing injections in the hip and groin area—both performed by ultrasound guidance with a local anesthetic. After your surgery, doctors will monitor your pain levels during recovery to compare how well each method works. Your participation involves receiving the assigned pain management technique and reporting your pain and comfort levels during your hospital stay.
