Transfemoral TAVR with Surgical Cut-down in a Patient with Aorto Bi-iliac Bypass Graft

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the mainstream option for patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis and is preferably performed by the transfemoral route. However, a subset of patients requires alternative access with comorbidities associated with femoral access routes, and alternative access such as transapical, transaxillary, transcarotid, subclavian, and transcaval can be considered. However, access options are further limited by the presence of severe comorbidities. This case reports TAVR performed through a transfemoral approach in a patient with previous aorto bi-iliac bypass graft surgery.
