Long term follow-up after balloon expandable covered stents implantation for management of transcatheter aortic valve replacement related vascular access complications.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To report the experience of a high-volume center with balloon-expandable (BE) stents implantation to manage vascular complications after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Background

Despite increased operator experience and better devices, vascular complications after TAVR are still a major issue and covered stent implantation is often required.

Methods

We retrospectively collected baseline and procedural data about 78 consecutive patients who underwent BE stent implantation to manage a vascular complication after transfemoral TAVR. Primary endpoints were technical success, incidence of new-onset claudication and need for vascular interventions during long-term follow-up. Secondary endpoints included length of hospitalization, in-hospital and 3
