Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Vascular Complications: Femoral Artery Minimal Surgical Access Versus Percutaneous Approach.

Introduction: Percutaneous transfemoral access approach for the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is still associated with significant vascular complications. Hence, evaluation of best techniques for the reduction of vascular injury via the femoral access remains a key subject of research.

Aim: We report on a single centre's experience with TAVI performed via the Femoral Artery Minimal Surgical Access (MSA) and percutaneous approach (PC).
