Why the study?
While the transfemoral approach is standard for TAVR, the optimal alternative access strategy remains uncertain despite the transaxillary approach emerging as a promising option.
Does the transaxillary approach for TAVR improve clinical outcomes compared to the transfemoral approach in patients undergoing TAVR?
Does the transaxillary approach for TAVR improve clinical outcomes compared to the transfemoral approach in patients undergoing TAVR?
The transaxillary approach for TAVR has a broadly similar safety profile to the transfemoral approach but may be associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction.
