The JUPITER registry: 1-year results of transapical aortic valve implantation using a second-generation transcatheter heart valve in patients with aortic stenosis [ADULT CARDIAC]

CONCLUSIONS
In a high-risk cohort of patients undergoing TA-TAVR for AS, the use of the JenaValve THV is safe and effective. In patients at higher risk for coronary ostia obstruction, annular rupture or with limited aortic valve calcification, the JenaValve might be preferable for implantation due to its clipping-mechanism engaging native aortic valve cusps for fixation with reduced radial forces of the self-expanding stent.
