Objectives: We herein aimed to evaluate technical feasibility of transaxillary (Tax) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) utilizing a novel vascular closure device with a resorbable collagen plug and absence of suture material.
Methods: Between 05/2018 and 8/2018, eight patients (76.0 ± 5.9 years, 62.5% male, logEuroSCORE I 23.6 ± 4.7) received Tax-TAVI using the MANTA™ vascular closure device. Implanted transcatheter heart valves consisted of Edwards Sapien 3, NVT Allegra, Medtronic CoreValve EvolutR and SJM Portico.
Results: Puncture location depth was variable (3.5-7.5 cm). The left subclavian artery was used in five cases, the right subclavian artery in three cases. Low-pressure balloon-angioplasty for vessel closure was performed in 5/8 patients. VARC-2 defined device success was met in all patients. Major access site complication occurred in one patient with aneurysma spurium of the subclavian artery and consecutive stent implantation on postoperative day 5.
Conclusion: The MANTA™ device is applicable in Tax-TAVI, with potential particular advantages regarding easiness of use and marked access for subsequent interventions in case of vascular complications. Before conclusions regarding clinical efficacy and safety can be made, the device has to be evaluated in larger patient cohorts.

This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy and feasibility of the Perclose ProGlide Suture-Mediated Closure System (Abbott Vascular, Redwood City, CA, USA) for transbrachial access. A total of 100 patients from July 2020 to December 2023 were included in this retrospective study. Among them, 40 patients underwent ProGlide-guided suture closure following brachial artery (BA) puncture, while 60 patients received traditional manual compression.

This study introduces a novel bilayer wound dressing that integrates a quaternized chitosan-polyacrylic acid (QCs-PAA) sponge as the top layer with electrospun nanofibers containing curcumin as the bottom layer. For the first time, QCs and PAA were combined in an 80:20 ratio through freeze-drying to form a porous sponge layer with ideal structural properties, including 83 ± 6 % porosity and pore diameters of 290 ± 12.5 μm.

Purpose Of The Review: This review examines the role of vascular access and closure management in cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures, emphasising their impact on patient outcomes and safety. It synthesises current evidence and highlights advancements, challenges, and opportunities in this critical area of EP practice.
Recent Findings: Ultrasound-guided vascular access has significantly reduced complications and improved success rates compared to traditional methods.

Background: Inadequate pulmonary blood flow in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) can lead to the development of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA), which interferes with surgical repair. The present study evaluated the features of MAPCAs among patients with TOF and their treatment approaches. Besides, perioperative parameters and mortality rates of our TOF patients with and without MAPCA were compared.

Rationale: The transcatheter closure and atrioseptopexy are the main treatment methods for atrial septal defect (ASD). However, persistent hypoxemia due to iatrogenic diversion of inferior vena cava (IVC) to the left atrium (LA) is reported as a rare complication after ASD closure. Contrast echocardiology is a reliable and powerful tool to detect iatrogenic diversion and identify the etiology accurately.
