Summary:Background Transcaval access (TCA) is a novel alternative to the traditional transfemoral arterial approach for patients requiring large catheter-based percutaneous procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Methods We tested our device in a controlled laboratory setting on a porcine abdominal aortic sample that was modified to include irregular surface morphology and perfused with water to endoscopically visualize deployment of the closure device.
