Femoral vessel complications after transfemoral TAVR-A contemporary sonography-based assessment of 480 patients with third-generation transcatheter valves.

Considering the continuous advance of TAVR in low-risk patients with preserved physical activity, emphasis should be directed at the correct diagnosis and follow-up of these complications.
