Comparison of Strategies for Vascular Access Closure After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Registration Number
NCT05503199
Lead Sponsor
Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen
Brief Summary

The ACCESS-TAVI trial is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial. The objective of the trial is to compare two different vascular closure device strategies for large bore vascular access following transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation with regard to safety and efficacy.
