Transapical AVR is: Transapical AVR is: Direct and antegrade Direct and antegrade Potential for minimal embolic neurologic events Potential for minimal embolic neurologic events No limitation to sheath diameter No limitation to sheath diameter Expeditious and less time consuming Expeditious and less time consuming Minimizing radiation Minimizing radiation Minimizing contrast to the elderly patient Minimizing contrast to the elderly patient Applicable in all patients Applicable in all patients Summary

Need for TA Access in the Future The TMVR is Coming

It allows minimal morbidity and mortality when careful and thoughtful surgical technique is followed It allows minimal morbidity and mortality when careful and thoughtful surgical technique is followed Success can only be achieved with a collaborative and dedicated team Success can only be achieved with a collaborative and dedicated team Conclusions
