Why the study?
Does the use of covered stents to manage access site vascular complications impact long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI?
Does the use of covered stents to manage access site vascular complications impact long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI?
Major vascular complications worsen long-term survival after TAVI, but treating access site complications with covered stents does not adversely affect long-term outcomes.
Major vascular complications after TAVI warrant preventive focus; this retrospective analysis leaves open covered stent effects on outcomes.
Major but not minor VC impact long-term survival after TAVI. Covered stents implanted to manage VC at the access site have no impact on the long-term clinical outcome of TAVI.
