Literature was reviewed regarding transfemoral versus trans-subclavian access in transcatheter aortic valve implantation.The study population included 442 patients who were predominantly female with a mean age of 82.5 years.All patients were implanted with a medtronic corevalve (n=17), evolut r (n=294) or evolut pro (n=131) bioprosthetic valve.Deaths occurred in the study population; however, there was no statement establishing a causal or contributory relationship between medtronic product and the deaths.Among all patients adverse events included: st segment elevation myocardial infarct (stemi), stroke, annulus rupture, aortic dissection, valve migration, cardiac tamponade, acute kidney injury, major bleeding or vascular complication, arrhythmia requiring permanent pacemaker implant, moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, and conversion to open surgery.No further information was provided pertaining to medtronic products.
