Transcatheter aortic valve implantation through the brachial artery

Summary– Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been increasingly used in patients with severe aortic stenosis. The femoral artery is the most commonly used entry site for TAVI; however, other entry sites were also reported as transapical, transaortic, transaxillary/subclavian, and transcarotid in patients with occlusive peripheral arterial disease. In this report, a case of TAVI procedure through the brachial artery is presented.
