Transcarotid Versus Transaxillary/Subclavian Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement(TAVR): Analysis of Outcomes

Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR) has revolutionized the percutaneous management of valvular heart disease and has evolved to progressively minimalist techniques over the past decade. This review will discuss the impact of minimalist TAVR, explore the alternative approaches when trans-femoral (TF) TAVR is not possible and will analyze the current outcomes of transcarotid (TC) versus transaxillary/subclavian (TAx) TAVR, which are the two leading NF approaches emerging as the preferred alternatives to TF TAVR.
