How should I treat severe symptomatic aortic stenosis with transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a patient with right aortic arch?

BACKGROUND: An 84-year-old man suffering from dyspnoea on mild exertion and a 10-year history of mitral valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis presented to our department. The patient had an isolated right aortic arch. INVESTIGATION: Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated severe LV systolic dysfunction (EF 25%), good function of the previously implanted mechanical prosthesis and severe aortic stenosis. Multislice computed tomography confirmed the presence of an isolated right aortic arch with mirror-image branching. DIAGNOSIS: Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in a patient with right aortic arch at high risk for surgical reintervention. MANAGEMENT: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation using conventional delivery system.
