TWThomas Walther VFVolkmar Falk JKJörg 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.
