🎙️ NEW on @CardioNerds #CathMasters!
Percutaneous Transaxillary Access & Closure — Data to Delivery 🔥
🎓 Expert: @RajTayal | Hosts: @LiPang & @nazliokumus
Key takeaways:
🔹 ~5% of US TAVR cases need alternative access — and that number is growing with expanding TAVR & MCS indications
atile alternative access: no GA, no OR, deployable emergently in shock
🔹 ⚠️ Stroke is the Achilles' heel — 6–8% across registries, a class effect independent of laterality or technique
🔹 More vasc complications but LESS bleeding with percutaneous vs surgical cutdown — the paradox is partly definitional (covered stent = complication; surgical graft ≠ complication)
🔹 🎯 Target the 2nd segment of the axillary artery — anterior surface is FREE of brachial plexus elements
🔹 Bidirectional control + dry closure = your safety net for catastrophic bleeding
🔹 ARMS Registry: Axillary Impella is safe & feasible — enables early ambulation & superior device stability
Stay tuned for Proctor Playbook (technique) & Crisis Control (complications) 🎧
