Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an emerging surgical approach in patients with severe aortic stenosis unsuitable for conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR). TAVI has been performed through both transfemoral and transapical approaches, each with a specific suitability criterion. A transaortic (TAo-TAVI) approach has been recently established at the authors' institution for high-risk patients who are unsuited to the above techniques. Herein, the case is described of a successful aortic valve implantation using TAo-TAVI in a patient with porcelain ascending aorta that was identified as an incidental finding during conventional AVR. The patient recovered well and was discharged home without any complications.

Background: Delirium is associated with patient prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, the prognostic impact of subsyndromal delirium, described as an intermediate stage between delirium and normal cognition, is uncertain. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of delirium severity in patients undergoing TAVI.

Purpose: To compare the overall survival and the risk of all-cause and heart failure-specific hospitalization in nonagenarian patients hospitalized for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or conservative treatment.

Methods: Population-based retrospective cohort study based on healthcare utilization databases of the Italian region of Lombardy. The cohort included all nonagenarians hospitalized for AS between 2017 and 2021, who underwent TAVI within 90 days from first diagnosis or conservative treatment.

This procedure is carried out via a full sternotomy using standard aortic and bicaval cannulations. For the aortic and pulmonary anastomoses, selective antegrade unilateral cerebral perfusion is used after cooling the body temperature to 26 °Celsius. A 12-mm Hancock conduit is interposed between the pulmonary artery and the proximal descending aorta using standard running suture techniques.
