Transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A feasible and a therapeutic procedure for cardiogenic shock in severe aortic stenosis.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure is a well-established therapeutic measure for severe aortic stenosis with expanding indications. We present a case of a patient who had undergone a TAVI procedure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the grounds of cardiogenic shock.

Learning objectives

During the past decade, as platform and delivery technology regarding the implementation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have improved, procedure indications expanded both to low and very high-risk patients. Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock on the grounds of severe aortic stenosis identifies yet another sub-group of patients that could benefit from TAVI.
