Direct Aortic Evolut R Implantation as Valve-In-Valve in a Patient Affected by Leriche Syndrome
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been designed to treat elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis considered high-risk surgical candidates. Due to the large device size, even of current generation systems, the trans-femoral approach requires favorable ilio-femoral arterial anatomy; this approach is contraindicated in patients with excessive atherosclerosis, calcifications, or tortuosity of ilio-femoral arteries.
