Utilization of the upper extremity peripheral vasculature is rarely considered as an alternative access strategy. This may be due in part to a lack of familiarity with the thoracic vasculature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>208 consecutive patients undergoing routine CTA prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement were retrospectively evaluated in a systematic analysis of upper and lower extremity vasculature. Minimal luminal diameters (MLDs) for the axillary arteries and iliofemoral arteries were 6.0\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1 mm and 6.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.8 mm respectively. Compared to the iliofemoral arteries, the axillary arteries demonstrated substantially lower rates of significant stenosis (2% vs. 12%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and significantly lower rates of moderate to severe calcification disease (9% vs. 64%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Diabetes and tobacco use were independently associated with smaller axillary artery caliber by MLD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) but not with significant stenotic
