How to Make the TAVI Pathway More Efficient
Author(s): Didier Tchétché , Chiara de Biase , Bruno Brochado , et al Added: 3 years ago
Sixteen years have elapsed since the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and the procedure has now been widely adopted. The first time the procedure was performed, the patient was under conscious sedation with local anaesthesia for an antegrade-transseptal procedure.1 The pioneering team in Rouen published a series of case reports for patients treated via a transfemoral route… View more

Bleeding and vascular complications related to invasive cardiovascular procedures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Indeed, the most common complications resulting from cardiac catheterisation are vascular-related, including external bleeding at the arterial puncture site, ecchymosis, retroperitoneal haematoma and pseudoaneurysms. As guidelines recommend that the patient… View more

Since the first human transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)performed through an antegrade transfemoral approach (i.e. femoral venous access, transseptal puncture advancement of the device to the left ventricle and antegradely through the aortic valve), the venous approach has been abandoned and different arterial access routes such as the transfemoral, transapical, subclavian or direct… View more

Atrial septal abnormalities are common congenital lesions remaining asymptomatic until adulthood in a great number of patients. The most frequent atrial septal defects in adults are ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), both approachable by transcatheter closure using device implantation. The first non-surgical ASD closure was performed in 1975 by Mills and… View more

Since the first reported endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) by Parodi in 1991,1 the approach to the treatment of aneurysmal pathology has changed. The old concept of substitution of the aneurysmal aorta has been replaced by the new and challenging concept of exclusion, in order to pursue the same aim of preventing or treating aneurysm rupture. EVAR is a minimally invasive… View more
