Aorto-Right Ventricular Shunt after TAVR: Rare Complication of Common Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The primary treatment of symptomatic aortic stenosis is aortic valve replacement. Instead of open chest surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative intervention for high-risk surgical candidates. Clinical Case A 92-year-old male presented with progressive exertional dyspnea and recurrent syncopal attacks secondary to severe AS. The patient underwent successful transfemoral TAVR with 29 mm Edwards SAPIEN XT valve. His postoperative course was complicated by aorto-right ventricular shunt. The patient's clinical course was followed up for one year. Conclusion This case reports the incidence and clinical course of one of the rare complications of TAVR, aorto-right ventricular fistula. Conservative medical management is appropriate in hemodynamically stable patients with this specific complication.

Acquired Aorto-Right Ventricular Fistula following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) techniques are rapidly evolving, and results of published trials suggest that TAVR is emerging as the standard of care in certain patient subsets and a viable alternative to surgery in others. As TAVR is a relatively new procedure and continues to gain its acceptance, rare procedural complications will continue to appear. Our case is about an 89-yea...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has transformed aortic stenosis therapy, with greater than 200,000 procedures performed worldwide since the first case was performed by the French interventional cardiologist Alain Cribier in 2002. One rare but dreaded complication is aortic periannular rupture, seen in less than 1% of all TAVR procedures. Although TAVR is a safe procedure, with an ...
متن کاملAcute Epidural Hematoma after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Insertion: a Case Report
Background & Importance: Acute epidural hematoma is a very rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion. The insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt can cause sudden decompression of the brain, subsequent to which epidural hematoma occurs due to CSF drainage. To our knowledge, there are only a few cases of acute epidural hematoma in the literature which required acute e...
متن کاملA Very Late Presentation of a Right Coronary Artery Occlusion After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Involvement of the coronary ostia is a rare complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This complication has been more commonly described immediately after valve deployment. This is the first reported case of delayed coronary obstruction caused by TAVR 6 months after the procedure.

Aorto-ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital malformation, and aorto-right ventricular tunnel (ARVT) is an even less common entity. Here, we report the case of a 3-month-old female who underwent successful surgical closure of ARVT. The origin of the right coronary artery was proximal to the ostium of the tunnel.
