Transapical aortic valve implantation in Rouen: Four years’ experience with the Edwards transcatheter prosthesis

Abstract

Our series of 61 patients who underwent transapical implantation of the Edwards transcatheter bioprosthesis shows satisfactory results, similar to other reports, considering the high level of severity of patients referred for this method. Transapical access is a reliable alternative method for patients that cannot benefit from a transfemoral approach.
