Abstract

We describe the endovascular management of a middle-aged woman who developed a bleeding suprasternal fistula after conventional aortic valve replacement. The patient’s condition was considered inoperable. A customized stent attached to a transcatheter valve was successfully used to treat the individual, this being the first-in-human case of the promising Endo-Bentall procedure. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
