Successful Non-contrast Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation via Cusp-overlap Technique
Objective: We present a case of successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) via cusp-overlap technique performed with fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance without any contrast agent in a patient with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and chronic kidney disease.
Case Presentation: An 83-year-old female with severe AS was admitted to our hospital undergoing TAVI. Contrastenhanced CT was not performed due to her severe renal dysfunction.
