Key result
Transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation is more effective than alternative access routes, including transapical, trans-subclavian, and direct aortic procedures.
This case report describes the use of transfemoral TAVI with a self-expandable valve in a patient with an aortobiiliac bypass graft.
Hypothesis-generating for transfemoral TAVI preference; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Among the access routes for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the transfemoral (TF) approach is more effective than alternative approaches, including transapical, trans-subclavian, and direct aortic procedures (1).
