Overview

Aim:
Retrograde transfemoral arterial approach is the most common technique of transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Diameter of available catheters is the limiting factor for percutaneous usage. We currently use 18 French third generation Medtronic Core Valve system. We retrospectively analyzed procedure related complications in our patient cohort.

Material and methods:
transcatheter aortic vale implantation with 18 French Medtronic Core Valve was performed in 35 patients (23 females, 12 males) in between 12/2008 and 7/2010.

Results:
Mean age was 81.4 ± 6.1 years (range 69–92), mean logistics EuroSCORE was 19.3 ± 8.9% (range 8–42), mean aortic valve gradient 59.8 ± 19.8 mm Hg (range 30–86 mm Hg (mean indexed aortic valve area 0.37 ± 0.11 cm

Key words:
TAVI – surgical site complications – vascular complications – surgical cut down
