Circumflex artery occlusion is an unusual but grave complication that can be intra-operatively challenging to identify. Various modalities of imaging are possible during transfemoral aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Fluoroscopy and/or transesophageal echocardiography maybe used for assessment during and after TAVR. Imaging dilemma can cause delay or alter diagnosis. We report a case of an imaging complication during TAVR which might have modified the outcome of the procedure.
回旋支动脉闭塞是一种罕见但严重的并发症，术中识别具有挑战性。在经股动脉主动脉瓣置换术（TAVR）期间，有多种成像方式可供选择。在TAVR期间和之后，可使用荧光透视和/或经食管超声心动图进行评估。成像难题可能导致诊断延迟或改变。我们报告了一例TAVR期间的成像并发症病例，该并发症可能改变了手术结果。
