Abstract
Minimally invasive valve replacement is limited to bioprosthetic aortic and pulmonary valves for use in very specific populations of patients. Replacement via trans-catheter and transapical techniques should be used only in patients in whom traditional surgical replacement is deemed an unacceptable risk. Nursing management will focus heavily on care for comorbid conditions because of the high-risk nature of the patients in whom these valves will initially be implanted.
