Description
Catalina-Andreea Parasca and co-authors published a review with a case report in 2026 on valve replacement through the leg in a patient with a hostile abdominal aorta. Heavy calcium in the aorta can block the route even when leg vessels are fine. The review covers balloon and sound-wave methods to open the path. The case adds a stray stent fragment lodged in the aorta.
The patient was seventy-five, at high risk, with severe valve narrowing and heart artery disease. The staged plan repaired the heart arteries, pressed the fragment flat with a balloon, then placed the new valve. The authors stress tailored, image-guided planning for such complex access.
