Radial vs. femoral secondary access during TAVI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to get a second access site during a TAVI procedure: using the wrist artery (radial) or the groin artery (femoral). The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement) through the groin artery.
- Your heart team (doctors specializing in heart care) has agreed that you are eligible for TAVI.
- You are able to give written informed consent (meaning you understand and agree to participate).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your wrist arteries (radial arteries) and groin arteries (femoral arteries) are accessible for the procedure.
- You are not in a state of unstable blood pressure or shock, and you are not currently taking part in another study with an investigational drug or device.

This study compares using the wrist (radial artery) versus a different access site (conventional radial access approach) during complex, larger “bore” heart procedures to open blocked coronary arteries. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for challenging cases like chronic blockages or heavily calcified arteries.
This study compares two ways doctors can reach the heart during a catheter procedure: through the wrist (radial) or the groin (femoral). It aims to reduce bleeding and access-site complications, especially when patients may need a balloon/stent (PCI).
This trial tests whether a shockwave balloon placed through the femoral (groin) artery works better than the standard balloon approach during TAVI in people with difficult, heavily calcified leg/artery access. It may help improve the success and safety of getting instruments through the groin when arteries are “stiff and narrowed.”
This trial compares using one versus two Perclose devices to close the large hole in the leg after a TAVR procedure. It aims to find which method works better to prevent bleeding and other complications.
This trial compares two ways doctors can look at the blood vessels in your brain: through a small tube in your arm or through a small tube in your groin. Both are common, and the study aims to see which is safer and works better.
This trial compares two approaches for replacing a tight aortic heart valve (TAVI) through a leg artery: doing it with or without a routine check of your heart's arteries (coronary angiogram). If you have severe aortic stenosis and are scheduled for TAVI, this study helps find out whether skipping the artery check is safe and effective.
