Abstract: | In inoperable or high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) provides an efficacious and safe alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. In this case report, TAVI resulted in aortic valve cusp shearing and migration into the left main coronary artery, resulting in occlusion of coronary blood flow and cardiac arrest. The patient underwent immediate cardiopulmonary support and surgical intervention with a favourable outcome. With this case report, we illustrate the etiology and management of this complication, which can be recognized nonsurgically only if a high index of suspicion exists. |
