This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the new repositionable self-expanding valve. The primary end point was all-cause mortality and stroke at 30 days. 60 patients were included and the possibility for reposition was used 22 times between 12 recaptures and 10 re-sheathed of the valve. All maneuvers were carried out successfully.

Background: Percutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the treatment of choice for patients with severe aortic stenosis considered inoperable according to clinical outcomes at 12 months as reported in the PARTNER study, which demonstrated a reduction in mortality and an improvement in the quality of life for patients. However, the long term benefit of this<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/partner-cohort-b-clinical-events-at-3-years-follow-up-in-patients-with/" title="Read more" >...</a>

The PARTNER Cohort A randomized 699 elderly patients, (mean age 84.1), with severe aortic stenosis for TAVI or conventional surgery in 26 centers. The group of patients who received TAVI was divided into two groups: trans-femoral procedure, (244 patients), or trans-apical procedure, (104 patients). After one year mortality was similar but stroke and transient ischemic<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/partner-cohort-a-at-three-years-the-benefit-continues/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Alan Wilson and Szeto Zajarias show that vascular complications of the trans-femoral path remain an important factor because of the high profile of the catheters used in TAVI and the appearance of smaller devices, as well as the experience of surgeons, will progressively reduce complication rates.&nbsp; Josep Rodes-Cabau commented about the negative impact a stroke<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/tct-session/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Percutaneous aortic valve implantation ( TAVI ) recently demonstrated its superiority over medical treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis and high surgical risk. Furthermore patients receiving TAVI showed a survival surgery equivalent to one year. This study included 471 patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis discarded of surgery due &nbsp;a very high risk.
