Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Alternative Access beyond the Femoral Arterial Approach

Abstract: Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular cardiovascular disease affecting the population over the age of 65 years. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was developed as a minimally invasive surgical intervention to treat aortic stenosis in patients at high risk for surgical complications. Although the most commonly used approach for placement of a transcatheter aortic valve is in retrograde fashion via a transfemoral approach, narrowed luminal diameters, extensive atherosclerotic disease, or sig… Show more

“…The CoreValve Revalving System is available in sizes ranging from 23 mm to 34 mm. 13 Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of symptomatic and severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) has rapidly evolved during the last decade. TAVI has proven superior or non-inferior against surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients at high, intermediate or low surgical risk.…”

“…Also, peripheral artery disease, which is a major comorbidity in patients referred for TAVR, provides challenge in completing the TF-TAVR procedure in patients with comorbidities associated with femoral access routes such as iliofemoral arteries with severe narrowing, or an artificial bypass graft [4]. In these situations, other access routes like subclavian access are more typically utilized [5]. Our patient had stenosed subclavian artery; thus, we elected to use the TF route despite his history of aortobifemoral bypass graft.…”

“…SCA-TAVR is regarded as a favorable and less invasive alternative approach since it involves a short distance between the puncture site and the aortic annulus and is generally free of atherosclerotic calcification and significant tortuosity [10]. In the CoreValve trial, outcomes at 30 days and 1 year after treatment with SCA-TAVR were comparable to those in the TF group [11].…”

“…Similar to TF-TAVR, SCA-TAVR is restricted by vascular stenosis (<6 mm), substantial calcification and extensive tortuosity. In addition, a valve angle of >70 is considered a relative contraindication to SCA-TAVR [10,11].…”
