Aortic embolization of an Edwards SAPIEN prosthesis due to sigmoid left ventricular hypertrophy: Case report

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is considered an alternative therapy in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Although a minimally invasive procedure, it is not free from complications, one of which is valve embolization at the time of TAVI. We present a case of embolization...

description Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is considered an alternative therapy in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Although a minimally invasive procedure, it is not free from complications, one of which is valve embolization at the time of TAVI. We present a case of embolization of a balloon-expandable aortic valve due to sigmoid left ventricular hypertrophy and managed with a second valve without surgery. The embolized valve was repositioned in the aortic arch between the left common carotid artery and the brachiocephalic trunk. Resumo: A implantação percutânea valvular aórtica (TAVI) é considerada uma terapêutica alternativa nos doentes de alto risco com estenose aórtica grave. Apesar de se tratar de um procedimento minimamente invasivo, o mesmo não está livre de complicações. Uma das quais é a embolização valvular no momento da TAVI. Apresentamos um caso de embolização valvular aórtica expansível por balão devido a hipertrofia ventricular esquerda sigmoide tratada com uma segunda válvula sem cirurgia. A válvula embolizada foi reposicionada na crossa da aorta entre a artéria carótida esquerda e o tronco braquiocefálico.
