title: Transapical arterial cannulation for salvage cardiopulmonary bypass in transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
abstract: Hemodynamic instability during transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures may require transient cardiopulmonary bypass for support. In patients with severe atherosclerosis, peripheral cannulation may not be possible. This method of direct left ventricle cannulation during transapical TAVR is a facile means to provide arterial inflow.
