title: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a dog bone-shaped balloon technique.
abstract: We report a new technique of the partially and sequentially gonflage of the transcatheter balloon valve, the so called dog bone shaped technique, which allowed us to approach the aortic root by inflating the valve balloon in two different times, stabilizing the heart and deplacing the valve.
