We report our two years clinical, and echo follow up of patients who underwent trans-apical and trans-femoral TAVI. All patients who underwent TAVI therapy have been followed at six, 12, and 24 months, where clinical, and echo evaluation have been obtained. Sixty-six pat were operated, with mean age of 78.7±9.3 y, 53% females, and 47% males. The mean logistic Euro score was 21±8. 55% of pat completed 2 years follow-up. Fourty-two pat received Edward Sapien valve (25 trsna-apical, and 17 trans-femoral ), and 24 pat received core valve. Thirty days mortality in Sapien valve group was 11%, and 0% in Core valve group. CVA developed in 8% of the core valve group, and 7% of the Sapien valve group. Complete heart block developed in 37.5 of Core group, and 4.8% of the sapien group. Peripheral arterial complications occurred in 12.5% of Core patients, and 5.8% of Sapien patients. On follow up, patient’s symptoms improved. The PG decreased from 88±22mmHg to 19±7mmHg, P
