An 89 years old male patient was admitted to the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital due to chest tightness and shortness of breath for half a month. Severe aortic valve stenosis was found in post admission assessment. We proposed to perform transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery. Preoperative evaluation showed severe distortion of the descending aorta. We used the double guide wire technique and a 14F long sheath to assist the stepwise balloon expansion, and successfully completed the valve implantation. For patients with severe tortuous aorta, how to successfully complete transcatheter aortic valve replacement, this case may provide some reference.
