A left femoral venous access for Micra TPS implantation is safe and effective with an excellent implantation success rate similar to a conventional right femoral venous access without longer implantation and fluoroscopy times. The most frequent reason for choosing left vs. right femoral venous access was a previous transfemoral TAVI procedure.
