Can Lightning Strike Twice? Tackling Complications From Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Can Lightning Strike Twice? Tackling Complications From Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. J Invasive Cardiol. 2019 Sep;31(9):E277 Authors: Yap J, Ewe SH, Chao V, Ho KW Abstract TAVI complications may occur in the peri- and postprocedural periods. A 79-year-old woman with known severe degenerative calcified aortic stenosis underwent transfemoral TAVI; prior to groin closure, she became hypotensive. Prosthetic valve thrombosis was confirmed with transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography aortogram, which showed thrombus on the immobile non-coronary cusp leaflet.
