Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasing in popularity for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Transfemoral arterial route is the most commonly used approach for TAVR, also known as TAVI or transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Caval approach is the least preferred because of higher access site complications.
