Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in an Extremely Tortuous S-Shaped Aorta

الملخص EN

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an alternative technique to treating aortic stenosis in patients with high surgical risk.

We present a case of a successful transfemoral TAVI in a high-risk patient with an extremely tortuous iliofemoral system and a significant S-type bend in the descending aorta.

With careful preprocedure planning and using all the techniques available, TAVI can be performed in the most challenging patients.
