🧰⚙️🔧TAVI via axillary access: a simple, effective approach 🔗pcronline.com/Cases-resource… When transfemoral access is not an option, the axillary route offers a fully percutaneous alternative for TAVI. This step-by-step approach shows how to secure access and achieve reliable haemostasis using a combined suture- and plug-based strategy. Link in bio.

Frail patient. Torrential TR. Persistent NYHA III despite optimal medical therapy. After transient improvement under GDMT, clinical status worsened within 12 months. Surgery was ruled out (prior radiation frailty) — the Heart Team opted for T-TEER. Part 2 of this case by @EPTIG & Timm Ubben is now available — with expert review by @DBerlinerMD and #EBAC accredited (1 CME)⭐ 🎥 Watch the procedure follow-up: 🔗 pcronline.com/Cases-resource…
