ABSTRACT
Outcome for Transapical Technique More than 400 patients with significant aortic valve stenosis have presently been treated by transapical aortic valve implantation. Reports are available only for the ESV from two experienced centers (22,44,45). Further data of the TRAVERCE study (Fig. 42.18), the SOURCE registry, and the PARTNER EU registry were presented at TCT 2008. Implantation success rate was about 90%. The majority of patients is being done off pump, and the rate of perioperative conversion is 9% to 12%.
