The introduction of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure has revolutionized the standards of care in patients with aortic valve pathologies and has significantly increased the quality of the medical treatment provided. The durability and constant technical improvements in the modern transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure have broadened the indications towards younger patient groups with low-risk profiles. Therefore, transcatheter aortic valve implantation now represents an effective alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement in a large number of cases. Currently, various technical methods for the transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure are available. The contemporary transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure focuses on optimization of postoperative results and reduction of complications such as paravalvular leakage and permanent pacemaker implantation. Another goal of transcatheter aortic valve implantation is the achievement of a valid lifetime concept with secure coronary access and conditions for future valve-in-valve interventions. In this case report, we demonstrate a standard transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure with a self-expandable supra-annular device, one of the most commonly performed methods.

Background: Little is known about the very long-term outcome in Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) patients.
Objectives: To prospectively evaluate clinical outcome and quality-of-life after surgical repair of ToF.
Methods: Single-centre, longitudinal cohort-study evaluating every decade 144 ToF patients who underwent surgical repair <15 years of age between 1968 and 1980.

Background: The long-term outcomes of combined rapid-deployment aortic valve replacement (RDAVR) with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are not well explored. We report 3-year results from the INCA registry on combined RDAVR with CABG.
Methods: INCA is a prospective, multicenter registry that enrolled 224 patients undergoing RDAVR with CABG at 10 cardiac institutions in Germany.

Background: The impact of aortic arch (AA) morphology on the management of the procedural details and the clinical outcomes of the transfemoral artery (TF)-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been evaluated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the AA morphology of patients who had TF-TAVR using an artificial intelligence algorithm and then to evaluate its predictive value for clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1480 consecutive patients undergoing TF-TAVR using a new-generation transcatheter heart valve at 12 institutes were included in this retrospective study.

Background: Access-related vascular complications (VCs) after percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are associated with poor clinical outcomes and remain a significant challenge despite technological advances. The aim of this study was to identify anatomic predictors of access-related VCs after TAVR on preprocedural contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
