Abstract
Direct transaortic (TAo) approach for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis (AS) with prohibitive transfemoral access is being increasingly performed. Furthermore, concomitant catheter-based procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are also being increasingly performed during TAVR. We report a single-stage, catheter-based treatment of both critical AS and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTA) by performing TAVR with concomitant thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR) through direct TAo access via a minimally invasive partial sternotomy approach. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a "hybrid" TAVR+TEVAR.
