TAVI: complex vascular access

Facilitators: O. Goktekin, R. Bhagwandeen

Summary

This session addresses the challenges of complex vascular access in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It discusses strategies for navigating difficult thoraco-abdominal aortic anatomies, managing double aortic arches, and overcoming hostile femoral access. Case studies illustrate meticulous planning and innovative solutions essential for successful TAVI in patients with challenging vascular anatomies.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • TAVI in patient with complex thoraco-abdominal aortic anatomy, aortic kinking and severe tortuosity
  • Complex TAVI case: how to manage double aortic arch
  • Cracking the tough access: a case of complex transfemoral TAVI
  • Hostile femoral access: crack or change?
  • TAVR in patients with complex aortic anatomy (following ascending aortic replacement and EVAR)
  • Access denied: navigating through vascular challenges in a high-risk TAVI patient
