This article summarizes the current research on the benefits of using the transfemoral approach for percutaneous aortic valve implant and the transaortic valve replacement as an operation for severe aortic valve stenosis. Based on the available evidence, the authors provide recommendations for the use of the catheter aortic implantation in intermediate/high risk patients undergoing mechanical operation. Further studies are needed before extensive use of the catheter-based aortic valve procedure in younger patients at lower risk.
