Abstract
The gold-standard transfemoral (TF) access for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is not suitable in 10% to 15% of patients, and alternative accesses are needed. Studies have suggested that the transcervical (TC) access might yield outcomes comparable to the TF access. In our center, TC-TAVI is the first-line alternative to TF-TAVI. We herein present our 7-year experience regarding the use of the TC access in TAVI. We included all consecutive patients referred for TC-TAVI between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022. Data regarding the patients' characteristics,perioperative and 30-day outcomes were prospectively collected. Patients were separated into 2 temporal groups (group 1: January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2019; group 2: July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022) to assess the changes of their characteristics and outcomes over time. A total of 95 patients were included, with more belonging to group 2 (n = 56 vs n = 39 in group 1). Patients in group 2 were significantly younger (81.0 [interquartile range 77.0 to 87.0] vs 89.0 [interquartile range 83.0 to 92.0] years, p <0.001) and had a higher prevalence of hypertension (87.5% vs 66.7%, p = 0.028) and chronic pulmonary disease (35.7% vs 15.4%, p = 0.029). There was no significant difference regarding other co-morbidities or surgical scores. All-cause mortality and the risk of stroke at 30 days were low and similar (group 2 vs group 1, 3.6% vs 2.5%, p = 0.787 and 1.8% vs 0%, p = 0.397, respectively), as were the risks of permanent pacemaker implantation, postoperative acute kidney injury, cardiac tamponade, life-threatening bleeding, and major vascular complications. In conclusion, the use of the TC access increased over time. The rates of adverse events did not change, despite patients from mid-2019 onward having slightly more co-morbidities.
