Why the study?
TAVR for severe aortic stenosis in older adults may be challenging due to additional aortic comorbidities such as aortic coarctation.
Case Report (n=1)
Snared-assisted transfemoral TAVR can be successfully performed in patients with challenging anatomy such as an extremely horizontal ventriculoaortic axis and prior complex aortic coarctation repair.
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.)
