Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard treatment of severe aortic valve stenosis for patients at high or intermediate operative risk. Percutaneous transfemoral (TF) access is the preferred route owing its low invasiveness and lower perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with the transapical, axillary, aortic approach. However, vascular access complications (VACs) occurring from TF access have been associated with prolonged hospitalization and 30-day mortality.
