Aneurysm I: Introduction01:30

Aneurysm I: Introduction

28
An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction

42
IntroductionAortic regurgitation is characterized by the backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole and arises from the improper closure of the aortic valve. This condition results in left ventricular volume overload and can stem from both acute and chronic etiologies, each contributing uniquely to the disease's progression and symptomatology.Acute and Chronic CausesAcute aortic regurgitation often results from events that suddenly impair the integrity of the...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

29
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Aortic Regurgitation II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

59
Aortic valve regurgitation (AR) occurs when the aortic valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward from the aorta into the left ventricle. This backflow can result in two distinct clinical presentations: acute and chronic AR, each characterized by its own set of symptoms and physical findings.Acute Aortic RegurgitationAcute AR presents with a sudden onset of severe symptoms. Patients typically experience profound dyspnea (shortness of breath), chest pain, and signs of left...

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management

47
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...

Summary

A rare complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm, occurred via the transfemoral approach. This case highlights a potential risk even with this less invasive TAVR method.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive treatment for severe aortic stenosis.
  • Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication following TAVR.
  • This complication is typically associated with the transapical TAVR approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of LV pseudoaneurysm after TAVR.
  • To highlight the occurrence of this complication via the transfemoral approach.
  • To increase awareness of potential rare complications in TAVR procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 79-year-old female patient.
  • Review of the patient's medical history and TAVR procedure.
  • Analysis of the development of LV pseudoaneurysm post-TAVR.

Main Results:

  • The patient developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after undergoing TAVR.
  • The pseudoaneurysm occurred following the transfemoral TAVR approach, which is less commonly associated with this complication.
  • This finding expands the understanding of potential TAVR-related complications.

Conclusions:

  • Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm can occur after TAVR, even with the transfemoral approach.
  • This case underscores the importance of vigilance for rare complications in all TAVR procedures.
  • Further research may be needed to understand the mechanisms and prevention strategies for TAVR-induced LV pseudoaneurysms.
