Salvage Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Prior to "Bridge" Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Catheter Insertion via Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannula during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Background Patients referred to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) present with multiple risk factors for intraprocedural complications. Case Description We describe a TAVI procedure with sudden hemodynamic collapse and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulas were immediately implanted via vessels of the groin. A Y-connector was inserte...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a very young patient.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the standard treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis and unacceptable surgical risk. These are usually elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with mandibuloacral dysplasia, an extremely rare premature ageing syndrome, and severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, referred to our center for TAVI...

Title : Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Very High - risk Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Unexpected and fatal hemodynamic collapse during transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation -A case report-

Although transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is generally accepted as an alternative or promising treatment option for patients with decompensated cardiovascular disease in an inoperable or high-risk condition, severe hypotension and/or arrhythmia associated with rapid ventricular pacing still poses a challenge to many clinicians. This report describes a 79-year-old patient who exper...

Successful surgical employment of Impella recovery system for right ventricular failure after previous aortic valve replacement

A 58-year-old woman underwent aortic valve replacement. On the second postoperative day the patient referred a sharply chest pain, and an emergent coronary angiography revealed total occlusion of the right coronary artery. An intra-aortic ballon pump was placed and the patient underwent emergent off-pump coronary revascularization of the right coronary artery. Five hours later, due to unstable ...
