Abstract

Despite TAVR emerging as the gold standard for a broad spectrum of patients, it is associated with serious complications. In this report we present a case, where a TAVR procedure led to a perforation at the aortomitral continuity, discuss the risk factors for the occurrence of perforations and how we decided to treat the patient.

Keywords: aortic valve disease percutaneous intervention (AVDP); closure AV fistula/AVM (CLAV); imaging TTE/TEE (ITTE); percutaneous valve therapy (PVT); transcatheter valve implantation (TVI).
