Mini Invasive Suture-Less Aortic Valve Implantation Compared to TAVI in Intermediate Risk Patients

Several studies have suggested treating severe AS using the TAVI approach. The main limitations are suboptimal results in younger patients (70-80years) due to high frequency of BAV pathology resulting in higher rates of para-valvular leaks and higher rate of need for permanent pacemaker implantation. The use of Suture-less aortic prosthesis enables surgical AVR through a minimally-invasive approach with complete resection of the diseased calcified AV and by that providing a low risk procedure with more perfect results.
