Transaortic (TAo) approach for TAVI
The transaortic approach provides a versatile and less invasive alternative access route for TAVI that may reduce access site complications.
Cite This Study
Bapat et al. (2013) conducted a review in Aortic valve disease requiring TAVI. Transaortic (TAo) approach for TAVI was evaluated. The transaortic approach for TAVI is a versatile and less invasive alternative that utilizes familiar surgical techniques, potentially reducing the learning curve and access site-related complications.
