Key result
Transapical access yields fewer severe aortic lesions than retrograde approach during postmortem aortic valve resection.
Why the study?
Does transapical aortic valve resection cause fewer tissue lesions compared to an endoluminal approach in postmortem human hearts?
Does transapical aortic valve resection cause fewer tissue lesions compared to an endoluminal approach in postmortem human hearts?
The transapical approach for percutaneous aortic valve resection appears less hazardous to the aorta than the transluminal retrograde approach in a postmortem human heart model.

Transapical access may reduce aortic injury risk in valve resection models; leaves open translation to in vivo or clinical settings.
Bombien et al. (2009) studied Postmortem human hearts (n=13). Transapical aortic valve resection vs. Endoluminal aortic valve resection was evaluated on Lesions of the surrounding tissue (aortic annulus, aorta, mitral valve, papillary muscle, endomyocardium). Transapical antegrade access for aortic valve resection resulted in fewer severe lesions in the aorta compared to the transluminal retrograde approach in postmortem human hearts.
