Summary

A 79-year-old female with CAD (stenosis in the mid-LAD), asthma, and diabetes presented with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Left ventricular function was preserved, with an annulus measuring 355 mm², and the valves were heavily calcified.

A Navitor Vision valve was implanted with predilatation (18 mm balloon) under Acunav 4D ICE guidance through right femoral venous access. Right femoral access was used for the procedure, while a temporary pacemaker was placed via left femoral venous access. The right femoral access was closed using a ProGlide.
