The Daily Guardian|May 21, 2024

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in a morbidly obese patient with critical aortic stenosis

He was admitted in a hospital in Dubai for heart failure and later shifted to Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai within a span of 8 days.

Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) demonstrated a severely stenosed tricuspid aortic valve. The peak and mean gradient across the valve was 78/48 mm of Hg.

In light of the TTE finding of critical aortic stenosis, Computer tomography (CT scan) as per TAVI protocol and CT coronary angiogram (CTCA) was chosen as the first line investigation with the plan being that the patient would undergo an invasive coronary angiogram if obstructive coronary artery disease was found. The CTCA excluded the presence of significant obstructive coronary artery disease while the TAVI CT confirmed presence of severely calcified aortic valve and that the iliofemoral vessels were suitable for transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).
