MANTA, a novel plug-based vascular closure device for large bore arteriotomies: technical report

This study sought to identify incidence, predictors, and impact of vascular complications (VC) after transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

The aim of this study was to evaluate vascular complications in a consecutive patient population undergoing transfemoral percutaneous aortic valve replacement (PAVR) applying current Valve Academic Research Consortium definitions.

The majority of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures are currently performed by percutaneous transfemoral approach. The potential contribution of the type of vascular closure device to the incidence of vascular complications is not clear.
