86-year-old patient with gangrene awaiting TAVI.Clinical case.

Abstract

We present a clinical case of an elderly patient with peripheral arterial disease of the lower extremities who was diagnosed with high-grade aortic valve stenosis and was awaiting transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The patient was admitted to the clinic because of chronic limb-threatening ischemia of the right leg and the presence of gangrene, after a recent failed attempt at endovascular treatment. Peripheral angiography and interventional revascularization of the limb were performed. When a patient is suffering from critical ischemia and is undergoing preparation for TAVI appropriate management of this severe form of peripheral vascular disease must be performed.
