  Figure 1 Pre-procedural CT findings. (A, B) No calcification of aortic leaflets and annulus. (C, D) Outer strip ring used in the CARVAR operation tightening the aorta. CARVAR = Comprehensive Aortic Root and VAlve Repair; CT = computed tomography.

  Figure 2 Aortogram during the TAVR procedures. (A) TAVR using the outer strip ring as an anchoring point. (B) Middle part between outflow and waist of 29 mm Evolut™ R valve was seated at the outer strip ring. Arrows indicate the location of the outer strip ring used in CARVAR operation. CARVAR = Comprehensive Aortic Root and VAlve Repair; TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

• 

  Figure 3 Chest radiography of pre- and post-TAVR. Cardiothoracic ratio decreased from 67.4% to 57.2%. TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
