312 * expanding the limits: transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation for severe aortic regurgitation
Conclusions: This small single-centre series demonstrates the feasibility of transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the self-expandable ACURATE TA™ device in high-risk patients with severe aortic regurgitation.

316 * ministernotomy versus conventional sternotomy for aortic valve replacement: propensity score analysis of 808 patients
Conclusions: Aortic valve replacement can be safely conducted through a partial ministernotomy. This approach is not associated with an increased rate of complications. Prospective studies with special emphasis on endpoints such as postoperative pain, duration of postoperative recovery, and quality of life during follow-up, are needed to further clarify the role of ministernotomy for aortic valve replacement.

317 * comparison of anterolateral minithoracotomy versus hemisternotomy in minimally invasive aortic valve replacement: a single-centre study
Conclusions: Summarizing, the ALM group showed more perioperative complications; however 90-day mortality did not differ.

318 * minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with the perceval s sutureless valve: early outcomes and mid-term survival from two european centres
Conclusions: Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with the Perceval S sutureless valve in high-risk patients is a safe and reproducible procedure associated with excellent haemodynamic results, postoperative outcomes and mid-term survival.

319 * monitoring the learning curve and quality of care during re-engineering towards right minithoracotomy perceval s sutureless bioprosthesis implantation: a single-institution experience with 135 patients
Conclusions: Implantation of the Perceval S sutureless bioprosthesis through the right chest can be performed safely with progressive decreases in cardiopulmonary bypass, cross-clamp, and procedural times. CUSUM analysis shows a small learning curve with evidence of plateau after the first 10 cases.

Prospective evaluation of clinical outcomes in all-comer high-risk patients with aortic valve stenosis undergoing medical treatment, transcatheter or surgical aortic valve implantation following heart team assessment
CONCLUSIONS Patients who are less suitable for AVR can be treated safely and effectively with TAVI with similar outcomes when compared with patients with a lower-risk profile undergoing AVR. Patients with TAVI or AVR have better survival than those undergoing medical treatment only.

Aortic valve bypass: experience from Denmark
CONCLUSIONS AVB can be performed with low mortality and acceptable results in selected patients. The procedure can be offered to patients rejected for conventional aortic valve replacement and TAVI and results in a larger total valve area than by insertion of standard bioprosthesis.

Early experiences and in-hospital results with a novel off-pump apico-aortic conduit
CONCLUSIONS With this novel conduit, we observed excellent haemodynamic results. We feel that this additional surgical approach to aortic stenosis in elderly, high-risk patients can augment conventional on-pump and interventional treatments of aortic stenosis.

Cognitive function after transapical aortic valve implantation: a single-centre study with 3-month follow-up
CONCLUSIONS Cognitive function was only mildly impaired after TA-TAVI when compared with a marked, albeit transient, decline after surgical AVR. Focal embolic brain injury tended to occur more frequently after TA-TAVI, but this was not related to cognitive decline during the 3-month follow-up.
