Subclavian transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI): superficial cervical plexus block combined with low-dose interscalene block.

The interscalene catheter in situ allowed for low-dose local anesthetic titration without further jeopardizing the pulmonary function throughout the procedure. Unlike other interfascial plane blocks, combined low-dose superficial cervical plexus and interscalene brachial plexus blocks offer surgical anesthesia and limb immobility, thus providing optimal condition for subclavian TAVI to be performed with minimal sedation.
