Transapical minimally invasive aortic valve implantation

TWThomas WaltherVFVolkmar FalkJKJörg Kempfert

Key Result

Minimally invasive transapical placement of an aortic valve xenograft using an oversizing technique was evaluated for feasibility in high-risk patients with aortic stenosis.

Key Points

  • To assess the feasibility of using a transapical approach for aortic valve xenograft implantation in patients at high risk for surgery.
  • Evaluated the feasibility of transapical placement of a xenograft aortic valve
  • Utilized an oversizing technique
  • Target population included high-risk patients with aortic stenosis.
  • Demonstrated successful implantation rates in the targeted patient group
  • Showed that oversizing technique improved valve performance
  • Indicated potential for decreased surgical risks.
