Abstract
With the development of the transcatheter aortic valve replacement, innovative approaches can be geared to atypical and challenging cases. We describe a case of transcatheter aortic valve replacement via a left anterior thoracotomy in a patient with pectus excavatum and unusual intrathoracic anatomy where surgical and traditional transcatheter aortic valve replacement approaches were deemed inapplicable.
