The presence of a horizontal aorta in patients treated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement increases the difficulty of the procedure. We present 5 cases with aortic stenosis with a horizontal aorta who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement using a self-expanding prostheses, with the objective of describing the techniques used and obtaining success with a snare catheter.
