What this Trial Is About
This study will compare the use of one Perclose device to the usual approach of two devices for pre-closure during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). The study will compare the time it takes for bleeding to stop using the different closure approaches. The study will also compare complications when using one Perclose device versus two.
