SUMMARYBackground: Percutaneous approach techniques with closure device after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have diminished vascular complications (VC). In this retrospective study, we will report incidence and angiographic factors predisposing to major VC in patients undergoing TAVI using Prostar â XL closure device as a default strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
