+ Clinical events were adjudicated according to the VARC-2 criteria (no other studies comprised independent event adjudication or core laboratory echocardiographic assessment)

*1Ninety-nine patients were treated with transapical ACURATE TA

*2Minimizing trauma strategy: pre-dilation with 1–3 mm smaller balloon than perimeter-derived annular diameter, post-dilation with 1–2 mm smaller balloon than perimeter-derived diameter only in case of relevant aortic regurgitation or increased mean gradient > 10 mmHg
