title: Transfemoral Valve-in-Valve Sapien 3 in a Patient with an Ascending Aortic Aneurysm.
abstract: The presence of thoracic aortic aneurysms, particularly in the ascending aorta and arch, presents a challenge to transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We present a case of TAVR in the presence of a chronic ascending aortic aneurysm. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12724 (J Card Surg 2016;31:318-320).
