Device manipulation during transcatheter aortic valve replacement can dislodge left ventricular outflow tract calcification, causing serious complications like coronary artery embolization. Awareness and careful technique are crucial for patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery
Background:
- Severe aortic stenosis presents significant challenges during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
- Extensive calcification in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) increases procedural risks.
