Severe intraprosthetic regurgitation by immobile leaflet after trans-catheter aortic valve implantation.
Aortic regurgitation mainly in the form of paravalvular leaks is a frequent complication of trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We describe a case of an 86-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis, who underwent trans-apical TAVI with a 23-mm Edwards-SAPIEN valve. Immediately post-implantation, severe intravalvular leak was observed on trans-esophageal echocardiogram (TEE) due to...
متن کاملAortic root rupture during trans-catheter aortic valve implantation.
An 86-year-old woman underwent transfemoral aortic valve implantation (23-mm SAPIEN). She required immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Contrast angiography revealed periaortic blood extravasation (Fig. 1, panel C). Immediate operation revealed an aortic tear in the suprannular position (Fig. 1, panel D) that was repaired with direct suture. A 19-mmMitroflowwas implanted. The patient was di...
متن کاملThe change in mitral regurgitation severity after trans-catheter aortic valve implantation.
BACKGROUND Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a frequent finding in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The objective of this study is to assess the change in MR severity following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS MR changes were assessed by comparing transthoracic echocardiography before and after the procedure. RESULTS The prosthetic aortic valve was successfully implante...
متن کاملTrans-catheter aortic valve implantation: Contemporary practice and the future.
With increasing life expectancy, the epidemic of valvular heart disease, especially aortic stenosis (AS), is becoming more prevalent. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an alternative therapy for patients with significant aortic valve disease. It offers a less invasive procedure in comparison to surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) and an attractive substitute fro...
متن کاملTrans-catheter aortic valve implantation for non-classical indications.
BACKGROUND Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a novel therapeutic approach for patients with severe tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS) not suitable for aortic valve replacement. OBJECTIVES To describe our initial single-center experience with TAVI in patients with "off-label" indications. METHODS Between August 2008 and December 2011 we performed TAVI in 186 patients...
