The transapical approach for TAVI remains a feasible, safe, and effective alternative for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis and poor vascular access.
Nakatsuka et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis (n=1). Transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation was evaluated. Transapical TAVI was successfully performed in an 89-year-old high-risk patient with severe aortic stenosis and poor vascular access, allowing for discharge on postoperative day 6 without complications.
