To assess safety and efficacy of transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TA-TAVI) in the absence of predilation using balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). Predilation of the stenosed valve using BAV is a routine step in TA-TAVI; however, evidence supporting its clinical value is lacking, and several studies have linked it with higher complication rates.
