Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Transfemoral Versus Transapical Approach

BackgroundTranscatheter aortic valve implantation is commonly implanted through a transfemoral (TFA) or transapical approach (TAA) for patients with severe aortic stenosis. This study aimed to describe the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of TFA versus TAA.MethodsClinical and echocardiographic evaluations were performed at baseline, post-TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation), at 6 and 12 months follow-up in 107 consecutive...
