Managing Hostile Aortic Anatomies Using an Extended-Length Introducer Sheath During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Rationale and Clinical Outcomes
In patients with hostile aortic anatomies, the extended-length DrySeal Flex introducer sheath facilitated safe and effective TAV delivery and was associated with a low rate of periprocedural complications, including cerebrovascular events. Its use may help mitigate the risks traditionally associated with hostile aortic anatomies.
