..Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a promising approach to aortic valve disease. The implications of this new therapy are not entirely known. We describe the potential for the development of new atrioventricular (AV) block...

..This case demonstrates the technical feasibility and safety of this approach. Therefore, tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation may be a viable treatment alternative in carefully selected patients...

..The aim of this study is to report the procedural outcomes and complication rates following TAVR in a large sequential patient cohort using a balloon expandable valve according to the new VARC definitions...

..Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an alternative to open heart surgery in patients with aortic stenosis. However, long-term data on a programmatic approach to aortic valve implantation remain sparse...

....

..CONCLUSIONS: This initial experience suggests that transapical aortic valve implantation without cardiopulmonary bypass is feasible in selected patients with aortic stenosis...

..The objective of this study is to use propensity scoring to compare early clinical outcomes after transapical aortic valve implantation and conventional aortic valve replacement...
