Abstract

Abstract: Transfemoral aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a standard therapeutic option for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Special anatomies can pose distinct challenges for vascular access and later closure of the access site, for example, in preoperated patients. Here, we elucidate a case of transfemoral TAVR with vascular access by direct puncture of an aorto‐bifemoral bypass graft and illustrate the feasibility of vascular closure by an anchored collagen‐plug vascular closure device (Teleflex MANTA ® ).
