Prosthesis embolization represents a severe complication following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We describe a case of ventricular embolization of the Edwards Sapien valve following transapical TAVI. The prosthesis was extracted successfully using the same transapical access. This approach obviated the need for conversion to a median sternotomy to explant the embolized valve.
人工瓣膜栓塞是经导管主动脉瓣植入术（TAVI）后的一种严重并发症。我们描述了一例经心尖TAVI术后爱德华兹Sapien瓣膜发生心室栓塞的病例。使用相同的心尖入路成功取出了人工瓣膜。这种方法避免了为取出栓塞瓣膜而转为正中胸骨切开术的需要。
