Primary success rate was 86%, AV crossing took 48.2 ± 34.6s without complications. Fourteen failed cases were successfully managed with AL1- (6) and both, AL1- and AL2-catheters (8), respectively CONCLUSIONS The pigtail/J-wire technique for AV crossing is safe, simple and fast. Primary placement of a pigtail catheter into the left ventricle at a success rate of 86% facilitates TAVI procedures. Patients were 83.5 ± 5.5 years of age and predominantly male (62%). Primary success rate was 86%, AV crossing took 48.2 ± 34.6 s without compli
