A new Percutaneous technique for effective vascular Access Site closure in patients undergoing Transfemoral aortic valve implantation and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm rEpair. (The PASTE study).

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the single-ProGlide/Glubran technique is a safe and cost-effective method of closing the arterial access site after transfemoral TAVI and TAAR. The results of the study could be considered hypothesis generating and needs to be confirmed in a randomized controlled trial before being adopted in clinical practice.
