Key result
Inline sheath TAVI safely cuts transvalvular gradient ~80 mmHg in a small-caliber femoral artery case.
Why the study?

Does the use of an inline sheath enable safe transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a patient with small-caliber femoral access?
Transfemoral TAVI can be safely performed in patients with small-caliber femoral access using modern low-profile delivery systems and an inline sheath technique.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May facilitate TAVI via small femoral access; case report leaves open need for prospective validation.

Nhật Minh Phạm (2026) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis (n=1). Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) using an inline sheath was evaluated on Procedural success and hemodynamic improvement. Transfemoral TAVI using an inline sheath was successfully performed in a patient with a small-caliber femoral artery, reducing the mean transvalvular gradient from 85 mmHg to 5 mmHg without complications.
