Left ventricular remodeling and function after transapical versus transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Background The effect of utilizing transapical (TA) access for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on cardiac function has not been well studied. Aims The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the direct effects of TA access for TAVR on myocardial function parameters and their correlation with 4‐year survival. Methods Three hundred and thirty propensity matched patients, who underwent TAVR using Sapien valve (Edwards...
