Key result
Transfemoral TAVI proves feasible and complication-free in a patient with prior EVAR.
Why the study?
TAVI is an alternative to medical therapy in non-operable patients and comparable to surgery in high-risk patients, but experience in patients with prior EVAR is limited.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an alternative to medical therapy in non-operable patients and appears comparable to surgery in high-risk patients. We report a case of transfemoral TAVI in a patient with critical aortic stenosis (AS) previously treated by endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). An 89-year-old man was admitted for cardiogenic shock. This patient had a coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 1992 and EVAR for abdominal aortic …

Durand et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Critical aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock with prior endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) (n=1). Transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was evaluated on Procedural success and safety. Transfemoral TAVI was successfully performed without complications in an 89-year-old man with critical aortic stenosis and prior endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.
