APTA Alternative Peripheral TAVI Accesses Registry Observational Study

The APTA (Alternative Peripheral TAVI Accesses) registry is a newly registered observational study on ClinicalTrials.gov under NIH. The study retrospectively and prospectively examines patients with aortic stenosis who cannot undergo standard transfemoral TAVI and are instead treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation via peripheral access routes. The registry plans to enroll patients at Upper Silesian Medical Center in Katowice and additional hospital sites.

Affected parties include clinical research sites conducting TAVI procedures and patients with aortic stenosis who are candidates for alternative access approaches. The registry generates no immediate compliance obligations but establishes a structured data collection framework for outcomes associated with peripheral-access TAVI techniques.
