Percutaneous axillary arteriotomy closure during transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the MANTA device.

ABSTRACT

Percutaneous aortic valve replacement is performed predominantly via the transfemoral approach. The transaxillary (subclavian) approach may be utilized if an alternative route access is required. Conventional access and closure for this approach necessitates open surgical techniques. We report a nonsurgical fully percutaneous axillary TAVR using a collagen-based vascular closure device.
