Search for: [Abstract = "surgery and successfully underwent transcatheter interventions on these valves. In the TAVI procedure, percutaneous access through the femoral artery was used. At a later stage, percutaneous access through the femoral vein was used to treat severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and these valves were repaired with the MitraClip system \(Abbott, USA\). Conclusions Fully percutaneous femoral access is associated with a significantly higher dose of radiation and a significantly higher dose of contrast used during the TAVI procedure than access obtained by the surgical unveiling of the artery. Nevertheless, PA is associated with the same effectiveness and similar results of the TAVI procedure as SA. In the group of patients with a high surgical risk, when the femoral approach for TAVI cannot be used, the transapical approach gives good hemodynamic results of the TAVI procedure, with a significant clinical improvement and an acceptable complication rate. In the periprocedural period, bleeding was the most common complication in all types of vascular access. The lowest number of bleeding complications occurred in the SA group while the highest in the TA group. Full percutaneous femoral access has not been shown to reduce hospitalization time compared to the surgical unveiling of the artery. The longest hospitalization time was observed in the TA group.
