Real‐World Comparison of Vascular Access Closure Strategies in TAVI
Summary In a real‐world TAVI population, a combined suture‐ and plug‐based closure strategy significantly reduced access site‐related vascular complications compared with a suture‐only approach. This benefit was consistent across major and minor complications and was accompanied by lower bleeding rates. These real‐world data support combined suture/plug closure as a preferred strategy in transfemoral TAVI.
