Abstract:
Although transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the gold standard, this approach is not be feasible in approximately 15% of the patients. Trans-carotid TAVR may be less invasive than transthoracic routes for TAVR, and has been associated with encouraging results. Further prospective studies comparing alternative access routes in patients with whom transfemoral TAVR is not feasible are warranted, to propose an evidence-based algorithm guiding the physician decision.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...
