In this case report we aimed to explain how a severe aortic stenosis patient whom has severe stenosis in the peripherial artery was successfully treated after implanting greft stent to peripherial artery stenosis. After implanting greft stent, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) valve can pass easily through the stent by lubricating valve with opaq material and propofol. During challenging anatomy and severe stenosis of iliac artery, predilatation and stenting is very important for successfull TAVI procedure.
