Why the study?
Does the subclavian approach for TAVI provide comparable safety and efficacy to the femoral approach in patients with severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk?
Does the subclavian approach for TAVI provide comparable safety and efficacy to the femoral approach in patients with severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk?
TAVI through the subclavian approach is feasible and safe, providing an effective alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis who have contraindications to the standard femoral approach.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Comparable success and mortality with subclavian versus femoral TAVI; supports feasibility but leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Petronio et al. (2010) studied this question.
