VEAS, Nicolás et al. Trans femoral TAVI in extremely obese patient with severe aortic stenosis. Rev Chil Cardiol [online]. 2019, vol.38, n.3, pp.204-209. ISSN 0718-8560.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-85602019000300204.

An extremely obese woman (BMI 62.5 Kg/M2) with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis was discarded for bariatric surgery or aortic valve replacement. A transfemoral TAVI was performed, without general anesthesia. Careful techniques to perform and seal the transfemoral puncture are described. The patient recovered uneventfully with a significant decrease in aortic valve gradient and minimal aortic insufficiency.
