Abstract:
Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation has emerged as an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis considered to be at very high or prohibitive operative risk. We report the first successful Off-pump trans-apical trans-catheter aortic valve implantation in India for a case of severe calcific aortic stenosis with a Logistic Euroscore of 20%.
