Aortic Valve Leaflet Rupture Causing Delayed Left Main Coronary Ostial Obstruction During Valvuloplasty Preceding TAVR

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: A 69-year-old man with mediastinal radiation history underwent balloon valvuloplasty before transcatheter aortic valve replacement, which caused aortic leaflet rupture leading to unstable severe aortic regurgitation and subsequent left main ostial obstruction. A balloon-expanding valve was implanted to capture the ruptured leaflet and a left main stent was placed. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
