How is the TAVI procedure performed?

The TAVI procedure can be performed through several access routes, most commonly via the transfemoral approach which is possible when the patient has suitable iliofemoral anatomy and does not suffer from other vessel disease.1

Iterative improvements in TAVI valve and delivery systems have contributed to the increased suitability of patients for transfemoral TAVI and the increased numbers of TAVI procedures.2
