We selected the 23mm sized Edward Sapien XT valve. 6 Fr sheath and temporary pacemaker were inserted through left femoral vein, and 7 Fr sheath and 6 Fr pig-tail catheters were inserted through left femoral artery. After right peripheral angiogram with pig-tail catheter, we checked proper puncture site of right femoral artery. 8 Fr sheath was inserted through right femoral artery, and then two 8 Fr Proglide devices were placed into the right femoral artery. After removal of the sheath, 18 Fr Edward E sheath was placed. And then, an AL 1 diagnostic catheter with a stiff wire was used to cross the aortic valve. After crossing AV, the stiff wire was replaced by a super-stiff wire, and then we did predilation using Edward transfemoral balloon 20 mm x 4 cm ( Movie 1). The Edward Sapien XT Novaflex Plus valve was crossed over AV using the super-stiff wire and deployment was done. Immediately after valve implantation, root angiography showed all coronary arteries was patent and minimal paravalvular regurgitation ( Movie 2). After the intervention, puncture site was sutured by prepared two Proglides.
