A stuck leaflet after balloon post-dilatation in transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a SAPIEN-3 ultra RESILIA valve: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a safe and effective therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis. A Stuck leaflet and severe intraprosthetic regurgitation after valve implantation occur rarely but can lead to sudden haemodynamic deterioration. We encountered a case of a stuck leaflet following post-dilatation with the Edwards Sapien 3 Ultra RESILIA valve.

Case summary

A 72-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for severe aortic stenosis with shortness of breath. She underwent transfemoral TAVI. After deployment of a 23 mm Sapien 3 Ultra RESILIA valve, post-dilatation was performed due to the presence of paravalvular leak (PVL). Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a stuck leaflet and severe intraprosthetic regurgitation. Aortogra
