In spite of being a less-invasive technique, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains associated with potential serious complications. Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is a known, serious complication of transapical TAVI. However, this complication has not been described after the trans-femoral approach. We describe a case of LVP after transfemoral TAVI, emphasizing the importance of an immediate diagnosis of this potential life-threatening complication.
尽管经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)是一种侵入性较小的技术,但仍存在潜在的严重并发症。左心室假性动脉瘤(LVP)是经心尖TAVI已知的严重并发症。然而,这种并发症在经股动脉途径后尚未见报道。我们描述了一例经股动脉TAVI术后发生LVP的病例,强调了对这种潜在危及生命的并发症进行及时诊断的重要性。
