Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for transcatheter heart valve failure has been suggested for high-risk patients. TAVR-in-TAVR, however, may lead to complex leaflet interactions causing coronary ostial obstruction, which is a devastating complication. Coronary protection with provisional stent placement may be challenging. We describe the first percutaneous transaxillary case of TAVR-in-TAVR with Bioprosthetic Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to prevent Iatrogenic Coronary Artery obstruction (BASILICA) where guide catheters used for coronary protection were entrapped between the valve frames. We describe anatomical predictors and management considerations. Operators should be aware of this important complication during TAVR-in-TAVR valve placement.
经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)已被建议用于高危患者的经导管心脏瓣膜失效。然而,TAVR 中再植入 TAVR 可能导致复杂的瓣叶相互作用,从而导致冠状动脉口阻塞,这是一种毁灭性的并发症。用临时支架置入进行冠状动脉保护可能具有挑战性。我们描述了首例经皮经腋路径 TAVR 中再植入 TAVR 中经生物瓣主动脉扇贝蓄意切开以预防医源性冠状动脉阻塞(BASILICA)的病例,其中用于冠状动脉保护的导引导管被困在瓣膜框架之间。我们描述了解剖学预测因素和管理注意事项。术者在进行 TAVR 中再植入 TAVR 瓣膜放置时应意识到这种重要的并发症。
