Case report: takotsubo cardiomyopathy after transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a first-line therapeutic option in patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at increased surgical risk. Despite its success, the TAVI procedure has been associated with acute life-threatening complications as myocardial infarction secondary to periprocedural coronary occlusion, annular rupture, or vascular injury.

Case summary

A 79-year-old woman with a dysfunctional bioprosthetic valve following previous surgical valve replacement was hospitalized in our institution to perform a Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (ViV TAVR). Shortly after the implantation of an Evolut R valve (without complication), left ventricle dysfunction with apical akinesia and basal hyperkinesia was ident
