Trans-carotid access for TAVR allows safe and rapid exchange for bailout valve-in-valve procedures

Trans-carotid endovascular repair of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms

We present an endovascular technique to repair an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with multiple previous sternotomies using access via the right common carotid artery.

Endovascular management of an aortic rupture following transcatheter aortic valve replacement

We report a case of aortic rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) managed successfully by urgent stent-graft implantation.

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty via a bilateral trans-radial artery approach prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) intervention is used as destination therapy or as a bridge to percutaneous or surgical aortic valve intervention. BAV is traditionally performed via a transfemoral approach; however, this may not be feasible in all patients due to peripheral vascular disease. We present a case of BAV performed via bilateral transradial access utilizing simultaneous deployment of two angioplasty balloons.
