Closing up after TAVR

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2020 May 1;95(6):1176-1177. doi: 10.1002/ccd.28911.

Abstract

Techniques for vascular access and closure are highly heterogeneous and continue to evolve. The combination of suture and collagen plug closure has theoretical benefits but also potential additive risk. It is, however, hard to state firmly that there is promising safety and efficacy claims should be made with caution when based on small single site series.
