Key result
Investigational suture and sutureless transapical closure devices require meticulous preprocedural planning with advanced imaging.
Why the study?
Percutaneous transapical ventricular access for structural heart disease procedures carries an increased bleeding risk, prompting investigation into suture and sutureless closure devices.
Do suture and sutureless closure devices safely and effectively close the transapical access site in patients undergoing transcatheter procedures for structural heart disease?
Do suture and sutureless closure devices safely and effectively close the transapical access site in patients undergoing transcatheter procedures for structural heart disease?
Meticulous preprocedural planning with advanced imaging is recommended for safe closure of percutaneous transapical ventricular access sites using suture or sutureless devices.
Advanced imaging planning may aid transapical closure device investigation; leaves open long-term safety and efficacy in prospective trials.
Percutaneous transapical ventricular access for transcatheter procedures in structural heart disease is associated with an increased risk of bleeding from the access site. There are currently numerous suture and sutureless closure devices that are being investigated to close the transapical access site safely and effectively. Meticulous preprocedural planning with advanced imaging techniques is recommended to lay out the access path and closure of the transapical access site.
