Guillain-Barre syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention and transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

ABSTRACT: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) usually develops after preceding infection, but cardiac surgery can also occasionally cause GBS. Currently, cardiac catheterizations have already become common therapeutic options for heart diseases, but there have been no reports of GBS occurrence after that.
