We report a case of an 80-years–old patient with a severe, symptomatic aortic valve stenosis and history of ischemic heart disease, previously treated by coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The patient was contraindicated for conventional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) due to advanced age and underlying comorbidity, therefore transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been offered. The access options for the procedure were restricted by the underlying generalized atherosclerosis process causing peripheral vessel disease. We have chosen transaortic access for the patient which in that case was the only possible option. The transaortic valve implantation was successful with satisfactory hemodynamic results, improvement in functional class heart failure of the patient and preserving the function and anatomy of the coronary artery bypass graft. This case report demonstrates that the lack of favorable transfemoral access for TAVI should not be a limitation by itself for the procedure, rather than be stimulus for searching and using new and alternative access for it.
