Does a simple five-step percutaneous technique achieve hemostasis after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
This case report demonstrates a novel five-step percutaneous technique for achieving hemostasis after large-bore access in TAVI, potentially avoiding the need for surgical closure under general anesthesia.
Successful percutaneous hemostasis via five-step technique in one TAVI case; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Access closure is a key element to successful retrograde percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It requires large-bore femoral arterial access (18Fr-28Fr) which most operators manage with surgical access and closure under general anesthesia. We report a case example of how, using our center's peripheral interventional experience, we have developed a simple five step technique to achieve hemostasis percutaneously.
