Reducing TAVR Vascular Complications Through Multidisciplinary Process Optimization.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundVascular complications associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can prolong procedures, require additional interventions, extend hospital stays, delay recovery, and increase costs. PROJECT RATIONALE: Lake Charles Memorial Hospital identified a higher prevalence of peripheral artery disease in its TAVR population, compared with national benchmarks. This increased burden of complex vascular anatomy was initially associated with higher complication rates, prompting targeted prevention strategies to improve safety and outcomes. PROJECT SUMMARY: A multidisciplinary team used root-cause analyses and iterative plan-do-study-act cycles to integrate micropuncture, ultrasound guidance, fluoroscopic road mapping, closure strategies, and enhanced staff education into standardized workflows. From 2018 to the second quarter of 2025, complication rates decreased from 11.7% to 1.9%, procedure times improved from 77 to 49 minutes, and hospital stays shortened, generating a net savings of over $86,000. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Phased, technology-enabled access strategies, supported by a multidisciplinary team, can reduce complications and improve the efficiency of TAVR programs.
