Transcatheter aortic valve implantation
VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS, LEAKAGE
The femoral artery and vein were punctured percutaneously, and the valve implanted according to the instruction for use. After the valve implantation, supravalvular angiography was performed to exclude paravalvular leakage. In case of relevant paravalvular leakage, balloon dilatation of the valve was performed. After removal of the delivery system, iliofemoral angiography was performed to exclude vascular complications. The femoral puncture site was closed using a hemostatic device (Perclose ProGlide
