Core Tip
Core tip: Congenital perimembranous ventricular septal aneurysm is reported to be rare and its co-occurrence with severe calcific aortic stenosis is even rarest. This unique case establishes that the transcatheter aortic valve replacement can be done in patients with aneurysmal perimembranous interventricular septum. This was achieved in our case by implanting the prosthetic valve more distally into the left ventricular outflow tract requiring apposition of the Edwards SAPIEN XT skirt at annulus with most of the valvular metallic frame in supra-annular position.
