Abstract :Background/Purpose: Communication and coordination between the patient, family, and heart team members remain a managerial challenge, although the heart team approach considers the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) management multidimensional. The managerial difficulties of the TAVI have been overcome by a coordinator, usually a nurse, who is called the TAVI coordinator. This systematic review aims to holistically reveal the results of the coordination approach in TAVI management. Methods: With the search designed based on study purpose in databases, 445 studies were identified [Science Direct (n=259), Scopus (n=62), Google Scholar (n=43), Medline+TR Index (n=13), PubMed (n=12), Web of Science (n=10), Emerald (n=4), Citations (n=42)]. Twenty-eight (28) studies were synthesized after systematic screening based on study criteria. The systematic review process used a systematic search and review typology. The research process was implemented based on the \\\"PRISMA\\\" checklist. Results: Results indicated that TAVI or valve structural heart coordination accelerates the pathway, increases patient satisfaction, optimizes resource use, and reduces costs, helping to prevent medical error. Conclusion: This study reveals the positive results of the coordination approach on the team, patient and hospital. It brings the approach to the agenda of clinic and hospital managers as a managerial tool.
