EnglishTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has nowadays been introduced as an alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement as a treatment for high risk aortic stenosis patients. This procedure is not free of complications: the SOURCE registry, indeed, showed that vascular complications are more frequent with the transfemoral approach. We present the case of an 82-year-old man with known history of severe aortic stenosis at high-risk for surgery. Pre-TAVI screening shows bilateral severely tortuous iliac arteries and aorto-bi-iliac endoprosthesis. Transapical TAVI as a first choice was rejected due to severe lung disease. The patient was then treated by Transfemoral TAVI using a dedicated interventional technique that is described in this case-report.

| Abstract: | Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has nowadays been introduced as an alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement as a treatment for high risk aortic stenosis patients. This procedure is not free of complications: the SOURCE registry, indeed, showed that vascular complications are more frequent with the transfemoral approach. We present the case of an 82-year-old man with known history of severe aortic stenosis at high-risk for surgery. Pre-TAVI screening shows bilateral severely tortuous iliac arteries and aorto-bi-iliac endoprosthesis. Transapical TAVI as a first choice was rejected due to severe lung disease. The patient was then treated by Transfemoral TAVI using a dedicated interventional technique that is described in this case-report. |
