Abstract:
We present a series of 2 high-risk surgical patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement via alternative access owing to unacceptable transfemoral options. Both patients underwent percutaneous transcarotid access with successful valve delivery and deployment without notable complication. To our knowledge, this approach has not been previously reported. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
