Key result
TAVI via previously placed SVG hoods offers a novel transaortic access route.
Why the study?
Does transcatheter aortic valve implantation via the hood of previously placed saphenous vein grafts provide a useful access route in patients with limited aortic access?
Does transcatheter aortic valve implantation via the hood of previously placed saphenous vein grafts provide a useful access route in patients with limited aortic access?
Transaortic valve implantation via the hood of previously placed saphenous vein grafts is described as a novel access route for patients with limited traditional access options.
May enable TAVI access in select post-CABG patients; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for validation.
Transaortic valve implantation via direct aortic puncture has been shown to be useful alternative to more traditional access routes. In patients with previously placed ascending aorta saphenous vein grafts, access to the aortic valve may be limited. We therefore sought to detail the utility of a new approach for accessing the ascending aorta during transcatheter aortic valve implantation via the hood of previously placed saphenous vein grafts.

Suri et al. (2013) studied Patients requiring transcatheter aortic valve implantation with previously placed ascending aorta saphenous vein grafts. Transaortic valve implantation via the hood of previously placed saphenous vein grafts was evaluated. Transaortic valve implantation via the hood of previously placed saphenous vein grafts provides a novel access route for transcatheter aortic valve delivery.
