Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...
Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) offers antegrade transapical access as a logical and advantageous approach for aortic stenosis. Evidence suggests transapical TAVI has the lowest access-related complication rates, challenging the "transfemoral first" preference.

Upper-extremity Approach for Secondary Access in Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Published on: August 8, 2025

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Aortic stenosis affects elderly and high-risk patients.
  • Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a key treatment modality.
  • Various access routes exist for TAVI, including transfemoral and transapical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the antegrade transapical approach for TAVI.
  • To compare the transapical approach with other TAVI access methods.
  • To determine the optimal access strategy for TAVI based on complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Review of TAVI procedures, focusing on access techniques.
  • Analysis of complication rates associated with different TAVI access routes.
  • Comparison of retrograde transfemoral versus antegrade transapical approaches.

Main Results:

  • The antegrade transapical approach is intuitive and offers procedural advantages.
  • The transapical approach provides proximity to the target, facilitating guidewire insertion and valve placement.
  • Contrary to common belief, the transapical approach demonstrates the lowest access-related complication rates.

Conclusions:

  • The antegrade transapical approach is a highly effective and safe method for TAVI.
  • The belief that transfemoral access is less invasive is not supported by evidence.
  • The transapical approach should be considered the preferred access route for many TAVI patients.
