Feasibility and Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Using the Left Axillary Artery as Primary Access Site
ConclusionsThis is the first study reporting outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation using the LAA as default access. We conclude that it is highly feasible and safe with low rates of major vascular complications, bleeding, and stroke.Visual Abstract

Low Incidence of Paravalvular Leakage With the Balloon-Expandable Sapien 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve
Conclusions The present study shows excellent clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of high-risk transapical valve replacement patients treated with the new S3 THV. The S3 THV shows a low incidence of postoperative aortic regurgitation, with 98% presenting with less than mild aortic regurgitation.

Intermediate Clinical and Hemodynamic Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Conclusions Our data show that TAVI has good early and intermediate-term clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in high-risk or inoperable patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. PVL of any grade has a significant impact on survival.

Clinical Outcomes of the David V Valve-Sparing Root Replacement Compared With Bioprosthetic Valve-Conduits for Aortic Root Aneurysms
Conclusions VSRR and BIO result in equivalent operative mortality and morbidity with similar midterm survival and valve durability. VSRR is an effective alternative to BIO for aortic root pathologic conditions; however, careful patient selection is paramount.

One-Year Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic  Valve Implantation Using the Direct Aortic Approach
Conclusions The DA approach provides a feasible alternative for patients with challenging anatomic features that may otherwise preclude use of the TAVI procedure.

Comparative Outcomes of Transcarotid and Trans-subclavian Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
ConclusionsThe transcarotid and the trans-subclavian approaches have similar safety and efficacy outcomes. The transcarotid approach had a shorter procedure duration and a trend towards lower fluoroscopy duration and radiation exposure.
