Vascular Complications and Bleeding After Transfemoral TAVR With Surgical Versus Percutaneous Approach: A Contemporary Prospective Study

Abstract

Conclusion: Despite a higher risk profile of patients in the SC group, SC and PC approaches appear safe and effective in TF TAVR, with a high success rate. SC may be considered when vascular access is anticipated as complex, but this strategy might be confirmed in a randomized study.
