  Figure 1 (A) Multislice computed tomography showing a severely calcified aortic valve with fusion of the right and non-coronary cusps. (B) A 26-mm SAPIEN XT (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) deployed via a transfemoral approach. (C) Transthoracic echocardiography showing atypical annulus rupture and a continuous shunt from the Ao to RV (arrow). (D) Aortography showing blood flow from the aortic annulus to RV (arrow). Ao = aorta; LA = left atrial; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle.
