Since the first groundbreaking procedure in 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation
(TAVI) has revolutionized the management of aortic stenosis (AS). Through striking …

Introduction Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is present in up to 10% of individuals over age 80
years. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the most common …

Background The presence of severe calcific atherosclerosis at the iliofemoral axis may
preclude transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) by the transfemoral (TF) approach …

Femoral and radial artery access continue to be the standard of care for percutaneous
coronary interventions. Cardiac catheterization has progressed to encompass a wide range …

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 …

Disclosed are a system and method for performing a medical procedure using direct
percutaneous access of an aorta. A main sheath is introduced through an incision formed in …

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a novel therapy, which has transformed the
management of inoperable patients presenting with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis …

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the leading technique for aortic
valve replacement in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis with conventional …

Objectives The aim of this study was to adapt patient-specifically a co-registration procedure
for image fusion (IF) of a pre-interventional CT dataset with real-time X-ray (XR) fluoroscopy …

Objectives: The authors sought to determine whether frail older adults undergoing
nonfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures had a higher risk of …
