First in Greece Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation using the CoreValve Evolut-R Retrievable and Repositionable Bioprosthesis with the InLine Sheath and the EnVeo Loading Guiding Catheter: A Major Advantage for SmallDiameter Access Vessels.

We report the first TAVI procedure in Greece to use the CoreValve Evolut-R (23 mm profile) bioprosthesis with the InLine sheath and the EnVeo loading guiding catheter in a patient with small anatomical characteristics (aortic annulus, access vessel) and severe comorbidities. The procedure was successfully conducted under general anesthesia through a surgically prepared, extensively calcified, left femoral artery.
