Long-Term Survival and Outcomes According to VARC-2 Criteria for Subclavian, Direct Aortic, Femoral, and Apical Implantation: An 8-Year United Kingdom TAVI Surgical Experience.

CONCLUSIONS: This was a large study that compared outcomes and long-term survival among different TAVI surgical approaches in a national real-world setting. According to our results, SF provided the best survival. While SC provided worse survival than SF, it was still better than TA and DA, and thus may represent the safest non-femoral access if use of the femoral approach is precluded.
