Key result
Transfemoral and transapical TAVI were compared for access-related complications and 3-year survival in 1000 patients with severe aortic stenosis, though specific results were not provided.
Why the study?
Does transapical TAVI compared to transfemoral TAVI improve survival and reduce access-related complications in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Does transapical TAVI compared to transfemoral TAVI improve survival and reduce access-related complications in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Objectives: There are two commonly used routes for TAVI and TA is generally perceived to be associated with increased risk. We aimed to evaluate access-related complications between transfemoral (TF) and transapical (TA) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and to compare survival.
