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.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the self-expanding Portico ™ valve system in an all-comers population: procedural and clinical outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: The PorticoTM TAVI system was safe to implant and achieved a high device success rate. With learning curve effects, the device achieves lower rates of PVL and pacemaker implantation and provides adequate clinical and hemodynamic outcomes through 1 year.

Anaesthetic management of transcatheter aortic valve implantation: results from the Italian CoreValve registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that, in experienced centres which have gone beyond their initial learning curve with TAVI, the use of local anaesthesia in a selected patient population can be associated with good clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, as severe procedural complications are possible, an anaesthesiologist should always be present as part of the team. PMID: 25772903 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sutureless Valve in Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis: Modified Technique and Midterm Outcome
Conclusions The sutureless valve can achieve satisfactory outcomes in BAV without paravalvular leakage and excellent hemodynamics. It may serve as the benchmark for transcatheter aortic valve implantation in this unique population.
