Summary
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in TAVR (TAVR-in-TAVR) can cause coronary ostial obstruction. A novel technique using Bioprosthetic Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration (BASILICA) was used, but guide catheters became entrapped.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an option for high-risk patients with failing bioprosthetic valves.
- TAVR-in-TAVR procedures carry a risk of coronary ostial obstruction due to complex leaflet interactions.
