We report the case of an 85-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement with use of the Edwards Sapien(®) valve system. The procedure was complicated by rupture of the valve-deployment balloon, with separation and retention of the nose cone of the RetroFlex 3(®) delivery system in the iliac artery. Our endovascular retrieval of the equipment was successful, and we achieved access-site hemostasis by deploying a covered stent. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the endovascular retrieval of a malfunctioning delivery system during transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
我们报告了一例85岁重度主动脉瓣狭窄女性患者,其接受了经导管主动脉瓣置换术,使用的是爱德华兹Sapien(®)瓣膜系统。该手术出现了瓣膜输送球囊破裂的并发症,RetroFlex 3(®)输送系统的鼻锥在髂动脉中分离并滞留。我们通过血管内方法成功取出了该设备,并通过置入覆膜支架实现了穿刺部位止血。据我们所知,这是经导管主动脉瓣置换术中血管内取出故障输送系统的首例报告。
