Summary
Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (ILIH) nerve blocks are frequently performed for analgesia
in inguinal surgery.
The investigators hypothesized that preoperative ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and
iliohypogastric (ILIH) nerve blocks will produce better intraoperative analgesia and less
analgesic requirement postoperatively in comparison to commonly used preoperative local
infiltration anaesthesia for patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TF-TAVI).
