Vascular sealing implications in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
In a recent issue of Revista Española de Cardiologı́a, Garcı́a et al described their experience regarding arterial access closure after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), utilizing routine wire insertion in the femoral artery prior to femoral artery suturing with Prostar device. Moreover, in some of their patients, a peripheral vessel balloon was inflated within the ‘‘target’’ femora...

We appreciate the interest and comments of Vavuranakis et al regarding our article on the usefulness of placing a guide wire from the contralateral femoral artery in the management of vascular complications associated with transcatheter aortic valve implan-tation (TAVI). 1 Peripheral vascular disease following TAVI procedures has been identified as a predictor of mortality in a number of studie...
متن کاملCoronary Obstruction Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was established as an important alternative for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, there are few data in the literature regarding coronary obstruction, that although rare, is a potentially fatal complication. OBJECTIVE Evaluate this complication in Brazil. METHODS We evaluated all patients presenting coronary ob...
متن کاملCerebral embolization during transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
The recent success of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been associated with a heightened awareness of the potential risks, particularly stroke. Recent meta-analyses report 30-day stroke rates of 3% to 4%,1,2 and diffusion-weighted MRI studies have revealed new, clinically silent, cerebral lesions in 68% to 84% of patients undergoing TAVI.3–5 Although the majority of patients u...
متن کاملTranscatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
A 97-year-old man was referred for assessment to our transcather aortic valve implantation (TAVI) team. He had suffered multiple hospitalizations for heart failure with a signifi cantly elevated BNP at 1830 pg/mL. At the time of assessment, he had grade IV New York Heart Association (NYHA) symptoms. Until recently, he had been working actively, but this had subsequently been severely limited by...
