Background And Aims: In this report, we present our experience with the transaortic transcatheter aortic valve implantation using the SAPIEN valve. The procedural success, 30-day outcome, and survival up to 2 years are compared with the transapical access performed in patients in our institution.
Material And Methods: Of a total of 282 transcatheter aortic valve implantation patients, 100 consecutive patients had a non-transfemoral approach. The transaortic and transapical access routes were used in 36 and 64 patients, respectively. The transaortic group had a higher mean logistic EuroSCORE (32.6 vs 25.2, p = 0.021) and more patients with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40% (33.3% vs 14.1%, p = 0.023).
Results: The respective technical success rates for the transaortic and transapical groups were 100% and 95.2% (p = NS). There were significantly more perioperative hemodynamic problems necessitating cardiopulmonary resuscitation or mechanical circulatory support in the transapical group (18.8% vs 2.8%, p = 0.023). The transaortic group had a slightly shorter hospital stay (7 vs 8 days, p = 0.018). The 30-day mortality was 8.6% and 10.9% in the transaortic and transapical group, respectively (p = NS). Combined safety outcome was similar in both groups at 30 days. The respective 1-year survival rates for the transaortic and transapical groups were 71.5% and 68.3%, respectively (p = NS).
Conclusion: The trans transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a considerable choice to transapical approach. Despite a higher risk patient cohort, the clinical outcome is at least comparable to the transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and it can be utilized as a second choice for patients with prohibitive iliac-femoral anatomy for transfemoral access.

Simultaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation and femoral osteosynthesis: a case report.
JA Clin Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Japanese Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital, 2-1-1, Nagamine-Minami, Higashi-Ku, Kumamoto, 861-8520, Japan.
Background: Simultaneous cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries can be beneficial for patients, but there are still few reports on this approach.
Case Presentation: A 90-year-old woman was diagnosed with a femoral trochanteric fracture and severe aortic stenosis. A heart team conference decided to perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and femoral osteosynthesis under general anesthesia on the same day.
Redo Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement versus Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Degenerated Bioprosthetic Valves.
Ann Thorac Surg

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Virginia Health University Hospital, Charlottesville, VA.
Background: Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) is associated with improved perioperative safety compared to redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo-SAVR), but long-term outcomes remain uncertain. We therefore compare long-term outcomes of ViV-TAVR and redo-SAVR.
Methods: The study included 1:1 propensity-matched Medicare beneficiaries with degenerated bioprosthetic valves admitted between 09/29/2011 and 12/30/2020 undergoing either redo-SAVR or ViV-TAVR.
Increased Risk of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement After Prior Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement with Concomitant Valve Disease.
Ann Thorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.
Background: The etiology of increased risk for reoperation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus prior surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of concomitant mitral and tricuspid valve disease on associated risk of TAVR explant.
Methods: Patients undergoing aortic valve replacement after prior SAVR or TAVR were extracted from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (2011-2021).
Transcatheter vs Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Medicare Beneficiaries with Aortic Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease.
Ann Thorac Surg

Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV.
Background: As percutaneous therapeutic options expand, the optimal management of severe aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is being questioned between coronary artery bypass grafting and surgical aortic valve replacement (CABG+SAVR) versus percutaneous coronary intervention and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (PCI+TAVR). We sought to compare perioperative and longitudinal risk-adjusted outcomes between patients undergoing CABG+SAVR versus PCI+TAVR.
Methods: Using the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services inpatient claims database, we evaluated all patient age 65 and older with AS and CAD undergoing CABG+SAVR or PCI+TAVR (2018-2022).
Long-Term Clinical Impact of Paravalvular Leak Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
J Clin Med
January 2025
National Center for Global Health, Istituto Superiore di Sanitá, 00161 Rome, Italy.
Paravalvular leak (PVL) was initially recognized as one of the most common complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and has been linked to adverse clinical outcomes, including mortality. This study aims to assess the long-term clinical effects of PVL in patients undergoing TAVI with the latest generation of transcatheter aortic valves, as part of the national observational prospective multicenter study OBSERVANT II. OBSERVANT II included all consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI across 28 Italian centers from December 2016 to September 2018.
