Transapical aortic valve replacement in extreme-risk patients: outcome, risk factors and mid-term results ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS TA-TAVR in extreme-risk patients carries a moderate risk of hospital mortality. Severe comorbidities and presence of residual paravalvular leakages affect the mid-term survival, whereas surviving patients have an acceptable quality of life without rehospitalizations for cardiac decompensation.

Worldwide experience with the 29-mm Edwards SAPIEN XTTM transcatheter heart valve in patients with large aortic annulus ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS The 29-mm Edwards SAPIEN XT™ bioprosthesis provides an excellent outcome in patients with a large aortic annulus undergoing transapical aortic valve implantation. Using this larger transcatheter heart valve, a broader population of high-risk elderly patients with aortic stenosis can be treated by minimally invasive transapical implantation techniques.

Extra-anatomic revascularization for preoperative cerebral malperfusion due to distal carotid artery occlusion in acute type A aortic dissection AORTIC SURGERY
CONCLUSION Extra-anatomic bypass for LCCA or RCCA occlusion allows for early selective cerebral perfusion during AADA repair, and may reduce the risk of neurological complications in patients with preoperative cerebral malperfusion.
