Nevertheless, in some cases an antegrade (via trans-septal puncture) or a retrograde transapical approach may be alternative options [3]. Particularly for the anatomically hard-to-approach calcified serpiginous tracts where an extra support is needed, an arterio-arterial loop can be established and may be key for a successful procedure [4].
