Embolization of a Fully-Deployed Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implant Caused by Chest Compression During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: We report a case of a 74-year-old woman who developed an embolized transcatheter aortic valve implant after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is an unexpected sequel of CPR.1 A second transcatheter heart valve was implanted, capturing the distal frame of the embolized valve (valve-in-valve strategy). Moreover, this case highlights the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of using this approach to avoid the need for surgical bailout.
