Femoral access is the gold standard for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Safe
alternative access, that represents about 15% of TAVR cases, remains important for patients …

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare transcaval and transaxillary artery access
for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at experienced medical centers in …

Background The optimal access route in patients with severe peripheral artery disease
(PAD) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains undetermined …

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent in patients with
severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) …

Background Peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) is occasionally required to facilitate
delivery system insertion or to treat vascular complications during transfemoral transcatheter …

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is unfeasible for 10–15% of patients
using the conventional transfemoral approach. Other alternative approaches, such as the …

Background: The transfemoral (TF) approach is the most common route in TAVI, but it is still
associated with a risk of bleeding and vascular complications. The aim of this study was to …
