- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 56-year-old man with severe haemophilia A and severe aortic valve stenosis who was successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It explains that Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive inherited disease that only affects males caused by the deficiency of coagulation factor VIII. It implies that transluminal aortic valve implantation has rapidly become an important treatment option for selective patients.
