Abstract

We demonstrate the utility of a printed 3-dimensional model to assist in the vascular access planning for a transcatheter aortic valve replacement in an elderly woman with complicated vascular anatomy including aortic coarctation, severe iliofemoral disease, and a small and tortuous left subclavian artery. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
