Vascular access site complications after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation in the POL-TAVI Registry: surgical versus percutaneous approach

Does surgical cut-down reduce vascular access site complications compared to a percutaneous approach in TF TAVI patients?

P

Population

Patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF TAVI) in the POL-TAVI Registry

I

Intervention

Surgical cut-down in the groin with exposure of the artery and manual suture

C

Comparator

Percutaneous approach

O

Outcome

Vascular access site complicationssafety

Surgical cut-down may be a safer option than a percutaneous approach for vascular access in transfemoral TAVI patients.

Surgical cut-down in the groin with exposure of the artery and manual suture after the procedure seems to be a safer option for TF TAVI patients.
