Background. Aortic valve stenosis is common with prevalence of about 0.5 %, peaking in people aged over 70 years mostly due to age-related valve calcification. The year 2002 was marked by the invention and use of the endovascular aortic replacement valve by an A. Cribier’s group of French surgeons. Russian endovascular surgery introduced transcatheter aortic valve replacement in 2009, having since built an extensive experience in this practice. Perioperative mortality in patients under 70 years with no serious comorbidity ranges from 1 to 3 %, however, reaching two-fold 4–8 % in elderly patients. The emergence of minimally invasive technologies offered cure to critical patients, who would merely not get over an open surgery.Materials and methods. This case study provides video recordings of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (Accurate Neo) in transfemoral approach performed for the first time in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Patient K., 70 yo, diagnosis: Atherosclerosis. Aortic valve stenosis. FC III. Complications: aortic valve calcification st. III, CHF II A, FC III, persistent atrial fibrillation, tachysystole. Comorbid: CHD. Exertional angina. FC III. CHF II A, FC III.Results and discussion. Improving the transcatheter valve type facilitates an optimal individual aortic valve selection. Pre-replacement valvuloplasty was performed in all patients. The valve replacement is followed by transoesophageal echocardiography to justify possible aortic valve post-dilatation upon marked paravalvular regurgitation. The implant positioning relative to the aortic valve fibrous crown and mitral valve flaps is precisely controlled with ultrasound.Conclusion. Interventional radiology currently provides high-quality, effective, minimally invasive medical aid even in aortic stenosis patients with multiple comorbidity. In the patient’s denial of open surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement represents a sole alternative treatment, also increasing the life expectancy and quality. A wider diversity of available transcatheter devices enables a better personalisation of the biological valve replacement procedure.

Abstract Background Redo surgery in patient who underwent aortic valve replacement with an aortic homograft can result technically challenging because of the massive calcification of the conduit. Case presentation We present a case of a patient who underwent open surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass assistance to implant a standard transcatheter aortic bioprosthesis through aortotomy in an off-label procedure and we discuss its safety and feasibility. Conclusions The combination of open cardiac surgery and open trans-aortic implant of a transcatheter prosthesis may reduce the surgical risk shrinking the technical difficulties that the implantation of a standard surgical prosthesis would have given.

Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a treatment of choice for treating symptomatic severe aortic stenosis patient whose condition is considered the high and intermediate operative risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. Here, we present a case of 67-year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, triple vessels disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease who was treated with TAVR. After the valve was deployed, we found the abnormal leakage at descending aorta by transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). Under intraoperative close monitoring, the dissection was slowly expanding so we decided to perform thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR). In conclusion, TEE after TAVR procedure is helpful to detect this rare complication.
