Abstract
The results attributed to each approach (transfemoral or transapical) are strongly influenced by the selection strategy. Patients in the transapical group had more comorbidity and consequently a more critical early postoperative period. The respective places of transfemoral and transapical approaches need to be clarified for each approach by a randomized study.
