Despite advancements in technology and operator experience, major vascular complications (MVCs) remain a concern, potentially affecting outcomes. This study aimed to assess the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impact of MVCs following transfemoral TAVI using propensity score matching.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively analysed patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI. Patients were divided into 2 groups: patients who developed MVCs (MVC group) and those who did not present the complication (No-MVC group). The primary end-point was the 30-day mortality. A 1:1 propensity score matching was performed, and clinical outcomes were compared at 30 days and up to 2 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between 2012 to 2023, a total of 2296 underwent a percutaneous-transfemoral approach. Major vascular complications occurred in 6.6% (n\u2009=\u2009151) and were associated with increased transfusion requirement, major bleeding, reinterventions, and longer hospital stays. Female sex, obesity, higher STS score, use of the Manta closure device, and post-implantation balloon valvuloplasty were independently associated with MVCs. The 30-day mortality was similar between groups (P\u2009=\u2009.723). The long-term survival was lower in the MVC group (P\u2009=\u2009.016). Two-year survival after propensity score matching did not differ between groups (P\u2009=\u2009.08).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Major vascular complications after transfemoral transcatheter valve implantation are associated with worse clinical outcomes and reduced long-term survival despite similar at 30-day mortality.
