Folliguet and colleagues report on 145 patients from three French centers who underwent transcarotid aortic valve implantation. The procedures were successful in all. Eight patients suffered a stroke, and one patient had a localized carotid dissection. There were no intraoperative conversions and no postoperative respiratory complications were observed.
