Abstract:BackgroundTranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) potentially may be significantly simplified by using the single artery access (SA) technique, which does not require a secondary artery access. Nevertheless, the safety and efficacy of this technique remains unclear. Our goal was to determine if single artery access TAVR (without upgrading the sheath size) is a feasible, minimally invasive procedure.MethodsPatients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR via the femoral artery were cons… Show more
