Technique of transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the Edwards-Sapien heart valve using the transfemoral approach.

abstract：:Exertional dyspnea is a nonspecific symptom with a variety of underlying causes. It can be challenging to differentiate a beginning cardiac disease from a pulmonary disease or from deconditioning alone. In the presence of obesity, the overall assessment is even more difficult. Rare diseases, such as pulmonary hyperten...
