Abstract:
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis in older adults may be challenging because of additional aortic comorbidities such as aortic coarctation (CoA). We report successful snared-assisted transfemoral TAVR in a patient with an extremely horizontal ventriculoaortic axis that was worsened by a previous endovascular repair of complex CoA. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
