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.

337-i * thoracoscopic left atrial appendectomy
Conclusions: This approach demonstrated feasibility, safety and effectiveness and should be considered as a possible alternative to percutaneous closure of the LAA. However, its effect on long-term prevention of stroke needs to be evaluated.

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.

Learning curve for intracranial angioplasty and stenting in single center
Conclusions: Operator's level of experience significantly affected the outcome of IAS. Moreover, we observed that the amount of experience sufficient for performing IAS in our center was 21 cases. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Robot-assisted totally endoscopic coronary bypass surgery
AbstractTotally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery can exclusively be undertaken with the aid of operative robots. In the past two decades, surgical remote manipulator systems —predominantly the daVinci® devices—have brought us the reality of endoscopic internal mammary artery harvesting and coronary bypass anastomoses via minimally invasive thoracic port access. Single up to quadruple TECAB interventions are recently feasible; the procedure can be delivered either a s beating heart applying endoscopic vacuum stabilizer or under cardioplegic arrest on heart-lung machine. Significant surgical team learni...

Use of the ClearSight ® System for Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring during Heart Valve Interventions: Review of the Literature and Single-Site Experience.
Use of the ClearSight® System for Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring during Heart Valve Interventions: Review of the Literature and Single-Site Experience. Heart Surg Forum. 2018 Nov 14;21(6):E476-E483 Authors: Gellert G, Bramlage P Abstract During interventional and structural cardiology procedures, such as mitral valve (MitraClip, BMV), aortic valve (TAVR, BAV), tricuspid valve (MitraClip), left atrial appendage (Watchman, Lariat), atrial septum (ASD/PFO closure), and coronary artery intervention (high-risk PCI), among others, patients are at a high risk of hemodynamic instability and re...

Minimally ‐invasive parasternal aortic valve replacement–A slow learning curve towards improved outcomes
ConclusionsParasternal minimally ‐invasive aortic valve replacement is a feasible technique associated with a slow learning curve but the potential to achieve improved outcomes. Considering the transcatheter alternatives, the relative risk reduction may be worth investigating in future trials.

Open aortic arch surgery: 10 years' single-center experience
CONCLUSIONS: After completion of the learning curve, open aortic arch surgery is associated with acceptable early mortality, low incidence of stroke, and a high 5-year survival rate.PMID:34703473 | PMC:PMC8525281 | DOI:10.5114/kitp.2021.109395
