The NORTh Europe HOStile access TAVI (NORTHOSTAVI) registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background-aims

Comparisons between alternative access routes for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with hostile vascular access are scarce. This study aimed to perform a head-to-head comparison of various techniques (percutaneous transaxillary [P-TAx], surgically-assisted transaxillary [S-TAx], transcarotid [TCar], percutaneous transluminal angioplasty-assisted transfemoral [PTA-TF], transbrachiocephalic [TBra], and transcaval [TCav]) with respect to the 30-day outcome of patients undergoing TAVI.

Methods

NORTHOSTAVI (NORTh Europe HOStile access TAVI) was an international registry that included patients undergoing TAVI via various endovascular transarterial access routes in Northern European countries. The primary endpoint was the adjusted 30
