While about a fifth of patients undergoing TTVA suffered from postinterventional AKI or bleeding, none of these complications was associated with higher mortality at short-term follow-up. One important risk factor for both complications was chronic renal dysfunction, indicating a high-risk patient population. The most frequent bleeding localizations were the femoral access site, pericardial hemorrhage, and the esophagus, which need explicit attention in periprocedural management.
