TAVI: nightmare in the cathlab - Part 1

Facilitator: F. Sawaya

Summary

Explore critical complications encountered during TAVI procedures in this session, which highlights urgent scenarios such as cardiac arrest from calcific leaflet shift, aortic root rupture, and embolisation events. It also covers salvage techniques like TAVR-in-TAVR-in-SAVR in cardiogenic shock and management of acute left main occlusion with cardiopulmonary bypass support, offering essential knowledge for managing procedural emergencies in the cath lab.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Cardiac arrest after massive calcific leaflet shift
  • Aortic root rupture following TAVI
  • Salvage TAVR-in-TAVR-in-SAVR in critical aortic stenosis with cardiogenic shock
  • Embolisation of a duct occluder during transcaval closure following TAVR
  • When it rains it pours
  • Acute left main occlusion during TAVI: the role of cardiopulmonary bypass
