Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an alternative technique to treating aortic stenosis in patients with high surgical risk. We present a case of a successful transfemoral TAVI in a high-risk patient with an extremely tortuous iliofemoral system and a significant S-type bend in the descending aorta. With careful preprocedure planning and using all the techniques available, TAVI can be performed in the most challenging patients.
经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)已成为治疗手术风险高的主动脉瓣狭窄患者的一种替代技术。我们报告一例在一名具有极迂曲的髂股血管系统且降主动脉有明显S型弯曲的高风险患者中成功进行经股动脉TAVI的病例。通过仔细的术前规划并运用所有可用技术,TAVI可在极具挑战性的患者中实施。
