Abstract
The vascular complications occurring when using the TF approach were probably related to a combination of a wide introducer sheath and heavily calcified femoral arteries in a high-risk population. No serious complications were encountered when using the TA approach. After propensity-score matching, survival with both the TA and TF approaches is similar to that after AVR.
