Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged to be a viable treatment option for patients suffering from Severe Aortic Stenosis.
The transfemoral approach is the most common access route for TAVI and associated with most favourable clinical outcomes.
However, with a population with increasingly complex vasculature, the incidence of vascular complications in TAVI remains high…

Abstract
Femoral access remains a vital route for many cardiac and non-cardiac procedures, including those involving the use of large delivery systems. In the common femoral artery access is extremely important to minimise complications and optimise use of closure devices. Dissatisfaction with haemostasis achieved by manual compression stimulated development of VCDs that provide quick and…

Radial vs Femoral Access
In recent years several large registries and randomised controlled trials have demonstrated a mortality benefit for trans-radial over trans-femoral percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), likely mediated by reduced bleeding complications.1–4 Building on the pioneering Japanese experience, the advent of the hybrid algorithim approach, coupled with innovative new…

Advances in transcatheter structural heart interventions and temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) have led to increased demand for alternative sites for large-bore vascular access.1 Percutaneous axillary artery (AA) access is an appealing alternative to standard femoral access when the patient has iliofemoral peripheral arterial disease (PAD), obesity or there is an expected device…
