Infraannular dislocation and its successful management: A rare complication following TAVI

Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been increasingly used in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis who are inoperable or at high risk. However it remains associated with the potential for serious complications. We report a case in which an Edwards Sapien (Edwards, Irvine, CA, USA) valve prosthesis dislocated to the left ventricular outflow tract with hemodynamic collapse 6 h following implantation. < Learning objective: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative method to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis and high surgical risk. Despite continuous improvements in operators’ expertise and device technology, it remains associated with the potential for serious complications such as valve dislocation. Dislocation after TAVI is a life-threatening complication that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.>
