'Touchdown' technique during self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patient with severe left ventricular outflow tract calcification: a case report.

In self-expandable valve implantation for patients with severe LVOT calcification, deployment should be carefully tailored to control PVR without valve embolization. A 'touchdown' technique can be a useful option for avoiding significant PVR in these cases.
