Inferior epigastric artery as a landmark for transfemoral TAVI. Optimizing vascular access?

This study sought to investigate whether the site of common femoral artery (CFA) cannulation in regard to the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) is associated with the incidence of vascular complications in patients undergoing transfemoral aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
