Abstract
Randomized controlled trials of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) included both transfemoral and alternative access approaches for valve delivery (1), but the best outcome, superiority to surgical aortic valve replacement, was only achieved in transfemoral patients (2,3). Unfortunately, a significant number of patients remain ineligible for routine transfemoral access due to peripheral arterial disease, which precludes delivery of large-diameter transcatheter valve delivery systems
