Abstract

Abstract We present the case of an 80-year-old woman diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and complex aortic atherosclerotic plaques who underwent transapical TAVI guided by transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy with no catheter/wire manipulation across the aortic arch to avoid any systemic embolism. (J Card Surg 2010;25:501-503)
