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.

232-i * endoaortic balloon clamping and transthoracic aortic clamping are both safe and effective in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery
Conclusion: Despite recent concerns arising about EAC, this large multicentre study shows equivalence in term of safety and effectiveness of this technique compared with TTC. Reduction in postoperative bleeding was observed in the EAC group despite the higher rate of complex redo cases.

256 * mitral valve repair has better long-term outcomes compared with mitral valve replacement in elderly patients with mitral regurgitation
Conclusion: MVP is a safe option and improves long-term survival and freedom from MACE, even in the elderly with mitral regurgitation.

067-I * TREATMENT OF AORTIC VALVE STENOSIS: FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH AN INTEGRATED 360{degrees} APPROACH IN A HIGH-VOLUME CENTRE
Conclusion: The "One Heart–One Team" approach, offering all treatment strategies, techniques and devices, allows a tailor-made, patient-orientated surgery and is of utmost importance for offering an individualised treatment option for almost every patient in almost every risk constellation.

089 * innominate artery cannulation for proximal aortic surgery: outcomes and neurologic events in 263 patients
Conclusion: Innominate artery cannulation can be performed safely and poses a low risk of neurologic events in procedures requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest. This artery may be considered the optimal perfusion site for delivering ACP.

092 * early and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery through right mini-thoracotomy: a ten-year experience in 1604 patients
Conclusion: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a safe and reproducible approach associated with low mortality and morbidity, high rate of mitral valve repair and excellent late results.

098 * long-term results of the david procedure in patients with acute type a aortic dissection
Conclusion: The David procedure certainly provides a challenging option to treat selected young patients with AI in the presence of AAD. However, current data suggest that it is safe and feasible even in emergency cases. Long-term valve-related events are rare and aortic valve function remains stable for many years.

126 * extra-anatomic revascularisation for distal occlusion of the left or right common carotid artery in acute type a aortic dissection with cerebral malperfusion
Conclusion: Extra-anatomic bypass for distal LCCA or RCCA occlusion presents a valuable bail-out technique to restore cerebral perfusion during AADA repair, potentially reducing the increased incidence of neurological complications in patients with cerebral malperfusion.

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.
