Understanding Transcaval Access for Cardiac Procedures
How can transcaval access transform options for patients with challenging vascular anatomy undergoing TAVR and other cardiac procedures? On this episode of the BackTable Cardiology Podcast, host Dr. Hady Lichaa interviews Dr. Pedro Villablanca, a structural interventionalist at Henry Ford Hospital, about the expanding role of transcaval techniques. They discuss how transcaval access leverages the IVC and aorta to bypass small or diseased vessels, offering transfemoral-like ergonomics, conscious sedation, and less radiation exposure for carefully selected patients.
