Alternative access in transcatheter aortic valve replacement—an updated focused review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Aortic Stenosis (AS) is a common condition with an estimated pooled prevalence of all AS in the elderly population at around 12.4%, with that of severe AS estimated to be around 3.4%. Therefore, alternative TAVR approaches have gained increasing utility in cases where transfemoral access is unfavorable.

Intervention for critical aortic stenosis in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

With this longer lifespan, calcific aortic stenosis (AS) was identified as an emerging critical risk factor for cardiac death in older patients. However, HGPS patient-device size mismatch, pervasive peripheral arterial disease, skin and bone abnormalities, and lifelong failure to thrive present unique challenges to intervention.
