Severe chronic aortic regurgitation after percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe aortic regurgitation (AR) is an extremely rare complication after coronary catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), where most reported cases have required relatively urgent surgical intervention due to acute-onset AR and cardiac decompensation.

Case summary

During the course of 2 years, she developed five recurrent NSTEMI due to in-stent thrombosis, necessitating either a new coronary stent or balloon.
