Key result
Trans-apical J-Valve implantation successfully restores valve function in a high-risk 80-year-old patient with severe AS.
Why the study?
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation has evolved as a routine procedure for selected high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, and new devices like the J-Valve system are being developed to improve implantation.

Demonstrates the feasibility of the J-Valve system for trans-apical TAVI in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved as a routine procedure to treat selected high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The new J-Valve prosthesis is designed for antegrade transapical implantation, it is characterized by a porcine aortic prosthesis attaching to a self-expandable Nitinol stent. The key feature of the device are three U-shape anatomically oriented devices - "graspers" which could facilitate intuitive 'self-positioning' valve implantation. Hereby, we report a successful case of trans-apical TAVI in an elderly high-risk patient with severe aortic stenosis using J-Valve system.

Cheng et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis (n=1). J-Valve™ system was evaluated on Procedural success and valve function. Trans-apical aortic valve implantation using the J-Valve system was successfully performed in an 80-year-old high-risk patient with severe aortic stenosis, resulting in excellent valve function.
