194 * da silva's cone repair for ebstein's anomaly: effect on right ventricular size and function
Conclusion: Da Silva's cone repair for Ebstein's anomaly creates excellent valve function in all patients. Consecutively, the size of the RV decreases and the antegrade net stroke volume increases 6 months after the operation.

210 * contemporary approach of thoraco-abdominal aortic repair using moderate to deep hypothermia combined with target reconstruction of the adamkiewicz artery
Conclusion: Moderate to deep hypothermia combined with target reconstruction of the Adamkiewicz artery brings satisfactory outcomes in thoraco-abdominal aortic repair, especially for spinal cord protection.

221 * prognostic impact and late evolution of untreated moderate functional tricuspid regurgitation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement
Conclusion: Preoperative untreated TR 2/4+ improves or remains stable in the majority of the cases. However, occurrence of TR ≥ 3+ of 8% at last follow-up is not reassuring, suggesting the need for a better characterisation of patients with preoperative TR 2/4+ undergoing AVR, in order to identify subjects at risk for TR progression.

224 * what is the best surgical strategy for aortic disease in redo scenarios? a comparison between traditional aortic valve replacement and transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation from two real-world multicentre surgical registries
Conclusion: Outcome differences between RAVR and TaTAVI in redo scenarios reflect methodological differences and different baseline risk-profiles. Propensity-matched patients show comparable outcome data, which slightly favour TaTAVI.

227 * conventional versus transapical aortic valve replacement: is it time for indication shift?
Conclusion: For high-risk patients, the TAVI procedure allows acceptable results comparable to those of the conventional AVR group, but is not favourable. These results do not support the expansion of the TAVI indications to low- or intermediate-risk patients.

132 * temporary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation
Conclusion: Temporary ECMO support is a safe and effective alternative to traditional temporary RVAD support in patients after LVAD implantation.

135 * coronary artery bypass surgery without cardioplegia: early results in 8515 patients
Conclusion: Isolated CABG with CPB using non-cardioplegic methods proved highly secure, with low mortality and morbidity.

138 * robotic versus conventional coronary artery bypass graft: a propensity score-based comparison of perioperative and long-term results
Conclusion: In order to achieve endoscopic revascularization with complete sternal stability, longer operative times are needed. Short- and long-term results of robotic coronary surgery are equivalent to conventional sternotomy CABG.

145 * no difference in outcome at five years after transfemoral and transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation in more than 1000 patients
Conclusion: TAVI shows durable results for up to 5 years. In the long-term, there is no significant difference between clinical and echocardiographic results after transapical or transfemoral procedures.

146 * european real-world transcatheter aortic valve implantation: systematic review and meta-analysis of european national registries
Conclusion: In the European real-world practice, transvascular TAVI approaches were associated with a lower early mortality regardless of the type of device used and did not increase the risk of stroke or significant paravalvular leak.

148 * one-year registry outcomes of the recently approved transapical acurate tavi device
Conclusion: One-year outcomes of this first registry demonstrate sustained excellent performance of the ACURATE TA prosthesis. The overall safety profile and 1-year survival is comparable to longer approved TAVI devices. This all-comers registry highlights excellent functional results, especially in regard to extremely low rates of relevant paravalvular leaks.

164 * decision-making in aortic root surgery in marfan syndrome: bleeding, thromboembolism and risk of reintervention after valve-sparing or mechanical aortic root replacement
Conclusion: The calculated annual failure rate after VSRR using the reimplantation technique was lower than the annual risk for thromboembolic or bleeding events. As the perioperative risk of reinterventions after VSRR itself is low, patients might benefit from VSRR even if they have to undergo redo surgery during follow-up.
