Polish Registry of Common Carotid Artery Access for TAVI

Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Through Common Carotid Artery Access in Polish Population - Observational Multicenter Registry

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is valuable treatment option for patients, who are at the high risk of surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Majority of procedures are performed through femoral arteries, however in some this access cannot be applied. Common carotid artery is one of the alternative routes of delivering the device in those patients. Established registry aims at collecting the data prospectively to assess outcomes of TAVI through common carotid artery.

The study is a prospective multicenter evaluation of transcatheter aortic valve implantations through common carotid artery in Polish health centers.

Duration of this study is expected to be 6 years to ensure that all of the enrolled patients will complete at least 2 years of follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Qualification for TAVI through common carotid artery by decision of the local Heart Team
• Patient provided written informed consent
