Propensity Matched Analysis of 14 French Suture‐ Versus Plug‐Based Vascular Closure During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
14 F Pb-VCDs are associated with significantly higher rates of VARC-3 defined minor vascular complications after 14 F delivery sheath utilization during TAVR, not leading to increased in-hospital patients' mortality. Adequate vascular closure following transfemoral TAVR remains of high clinical significance and continuous efforts are needed to optimize vascular access and closure strategies.
