Search for: [Abstract = "treatment with TAVI method. The analysis was performed by comparing the three subgroups depending on the access method used \(PA, SA, TA groups\). Results In the first publication, \"Computed tomography guided tailored approach to transfemoral access in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation”, the differences between the TAVI procedure performed using PA and SA access were assessed. The analyzed group included 158 patients, mean age 79.6 ± 8.43 years, 39% were male, baseline median aortic valve area \(AVA\) was 0.80 \[0.60\; 0.90\] cm , mean gradient 45.00 \[38.00\; 55.00\] mmHg, maximum 70.00 \[60.75\; 94.00\]. The PA group consisted of 92 patients \(58.2%\), 36% were male. The radiation dose during the procedure was significantly higher in the PA group compared to SA 614.0 \[410.0\-1104.0\] vs 405.0 \[240.5\-658.0\] mGy \(p <0.001\). The dose of contrast used was also higher in the PA group \(154.7 ± 50.6 ml vs 138.9 ± 69.2 ml, p = 0.04\). Hemorrhagic complications were most common and occurred in 11 patients in the PA group and 5 in the SA group \(12.4% vs 8.6%, p = 0.48\). In both groups, the majority of bleeding was access site\-related. There was one pericardial tamponade associated with aortic root rupture in each group. Three bleeding episodes were associated with perioperative blood loss, two \(2.2%\) in the PA group and one \(1.5%\) in the SA group. In terms of"]
