Abstract
When transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) took off 10 years ago, many thought that this question was never going to be asked. Nearly half of TAVIs were performed using a surgical approach, often transapical, new promising surgical routes were developing (transaortic, trans-subclavian), and there was a small but not negligible risk of surgical conversion. A cardiac surgeon and an interventional cardiologist working together was the most logical option.
