Nightmare in TAVI
Anchorperson:
T. Kaneko
Summary
Watch this session replay featuring two challenging cases: valve embolisation with a balloon-expandable valve and coronary obstruction with a self-expandable valve. Learn key lessons from the first case, including the importance of secure pacing, avoiding damage to the descending aorta while retrieving the embolised valve, and using stent grafts to maintain lumen clarity and prevent rotation. The second case highlights strategies for treating narrow SOV patients, the benefits of valve downsizing to prevent coronary block, and the need for careful commissural alignment when implanting self-expandable long valves.
Learning Objectives
- To be aware of the risk and prevent the complication
- To recognise the complication according to clinical information
- To treat the patients without further complication
