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. PMID: 26117587 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Treatment of Nonagenarians With Severe Aortic Stenosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of AS approximates natural life expectancy in select nonagenarians, with no significant difference in long-term survival between SAVR and TAVR. Importantly, patient quality of life improved at 1 year. With appropriate selection, nonagenarians with severe AS can benefit from treatment. PMID: 26013708 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of Transaortic, Transapical, and Transcarotid Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Inoperable Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Less than half of patients deemed appropriate for posttrial TAVR were candidates for TF implantation. The use of all available access routes leads to excellent outcomes in patients deemed inoperable. PMID: 23972931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Transapical Aortic Valve Replacement for Severe Aortic Stenosis: Results From the Nonrandomized Continued Access Cohort of the PARTNER Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Among the 975 patients in the NRCA-TA cohort, rates of major outcomes including death and stroke compared favorably with outcomes of PMA-TA and SAVR patients enrolled in the PARTNER trial. This trend toward improved outcomes may be attributed to improved patient selection, individual centers surmounting the procedural learning curve, and refinements in surgical technique.
