Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Data from randomized trials investigating different access closure strategies after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) remain scarce. In this study, two vascular closure device (VCD) strategies to achieve hemostasis after TF-TAVI were compared. METHODS: The ACCESS-TAVI (Comparison of Strategies for Vascular ACCESS Closure after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is a prospective, multicenter trial in which patients undergoing TF-TAVI were randomly assigned to a strategy with a combined suture-/plug-based VCD strategy (suture/plug group) using one ProGlideTM/ProStyleTM (Abbott Vascular) and one Angio-Seal® (Terumo) versus a suture-based VCD strategy (suture-only group) using two ProGlidesTM/ProStylesTM. The primary endpoint was a composite of major or minor access site-related vascular complications during index hospitalization according to Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-3 criteria. Key secondary endpoints included time to hemostasis, VARC-3 bleeding type ≥2 and all-cause mortality over 30 days. RESULTS: Between September 2022 and April 2024, 454 patients were randomized. The primary endpoint occurred in 27% (62/230) in the suture/plug group and 54% (121/224) in the suture-only group (relative risk [RR] 0.55 [95% confidence interval: 0.44; 0.68]; p<0.001). Time to hemostasis was significantly shorter in the suture/plug group compared to the suture-only group (108±208 s vs. 206±171 s; p <0.001). At 30 days, bleeding type ≥2 occurred less often in the suture/plug group compared to the sutureonly group (6.2% vs. 12.1%, RR 0.66 [0.43; 1.02]; p=0.032), with no significant difference in mortality. CONCLUSIONS: With regard to the composite of major or minor access-related vascular complications, a combined suture-/plug-based VCD strategy was superior to a suturebased VCD strategy for vascular access closure in patients undergoing TF-TAVI.
