Yes, Andrew Wiles has published a proof of Fermats Last Theorem using
the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture.  It was published in the May 1995 issue of
"Annals of Mathematics".  Details of his search for the proof, and previous
searches are covered in Simon Singe's book "Fermat's Last Theorem"
ISBN 1 85702 669 1, at http://www.simonsingh.com/fermat.htm.

Also see http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/proof/wiles.html for NOVA's interview
with Andrew Wiles.
