Transcatheter aortic valve implantation through extra-anatomic iliac graft in a patient with unsuitable iliofemoral and subclavian anatomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcathater aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a promising alternative for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who are not candidates for surgery due to high comorbidity and operation mortality (1, 2). Transfemoral approach (TF) is the generally accepted route for TAVI. However, small vessel diameter and peripheral arterial disease hinder this access (3). Presently described is experience with TAVI through extra-anatomic iliac graft as an alternative approach.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is indicated as an alternative treatment modality to surgical aortic valve replacement for high risk patients. The standard retrograde approach through the femoral artery is not feasible in the case of unfavorable iliofemoral anatomy or severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, patients with aortic stenosis (AS) have a higher prevalence of...

Vascular complications increasing the rates of morbidity and mortality are among the most common complications observed during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Endovascular management is often life-saving. However, due to limitations of time in cases of iliac rupture and dissection, precautions taken prior to the procedure and the placement of safety guidewire in the contralatera...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of circumferential iliofemoral calcifications and current manufacturer recommendations, which are not evidence-based, in transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS A patient cohort with a broad range of iliofemoral anatomies undergoing TF TAVI (n=132) were retrospectively divided as "suitable" (n=76,...

T ranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an alternative treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis that are considered to be at high or prohibitive surgical risk.1 While the transfemoral approach has been considered to be the primary approach in the vast majority of centres and studies, non-optimal iliofemoral vessel characteristics preclude the safe placement of s...
