This case report highlights pulmonary artery rupture as a rare but severe complication during transcatheter valve-in-ring implantation (TVIRI). The case offers practical preventive strategies to enhance procedural safety in high-risk patients undergoing TVIRI.
A 54-year-old female patient presented with severe tricuspid regurgitation due to annuloplasty ring failure. The TVIRI was complicated by pulmonary artery rupture, resulting in massive haemoptysis and haemodynamic collapse. The bleeding was successfully controlled by prompt management with balloon tamponade and selective embolization using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4.
This case demonstrates the potential for life-threatening complications during TVIRI and highlights the importance of careful procedural planning, multidisciplinary collaboration, and prompt intervention to ensure patient safety.
本病例报告强调了肺动脉破裂是经导管瓣中瓣植入术(TVIRI)期间一种罕见但严重的并发症。该病例提供了切实可行的预防策略,以提高接受TVIRI的高危患者的手术安全性。
一名54岁女性患者因瓣环成形术环失败出现严重三尖瓣反流。TVIRI并发肺动脉破裂,导致大量咯血和血流动力学崩溃。通过球囊压迫迅速处理以及使用Amplatzer血管封堵器4进行选择性栓塞,成功控制了出血。
本病例证明了TVIRI期间存在危及生命的并发症的可能性,并强调了精心的手术规划、多学科协作以及迅速干预以确保患者安全的重要性。
