Abstract:Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a leading‐edge therapy option for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. However, this minimally invasive procedure is associated with specific complications that may be life‐threatening. Valvuloplasty balloon entrapment during postdilatation in transcatheter self‐expanding aortic valve stent frames has not yet been a focus of interest in this context. Although it is a rare event, it may critically influence outcome, and different management strategies can be considered. Hereafter, we present the case of a 67‐year‐old male who underwent transfemoral TAVR and subsequent postdilatation. The valvuloplasty balloon was entrapped in the self‐expanding aortic valve stent frame after inadvertent wire passage through the outflow struts. Since surgical risk was high, we preferred a percutaneous approach and extracted the entrapped balloon with high traction force under rapid pacing after valve stabilization with another balloon, which was placed in the annular position.
