  • Cardiovascular collapse caused by balloon pre-dilation during transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a case report

    Circulatory collapse is a common complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), mainly due to new severe aortic regurgitation after balloon pre-dilation. This article reports the case of an 80-year-old female patient with severe aortic stenosis, who had a type 1 bicuspid aortic valve, with calcified aortic valve commissure between the right and left coronary cusps. During the procedure of TAVR, severe aortic regurgitation was caused by pre-dilation with 20 mm and 23 mm balloons. Then circulatory collapse and cardiogenic shock occurred. After the emergency deployment of the Venus A L26 valve, the cardiovascular hemodynamics was immediately improved. This case suggests that oversized balloon dilation should be avoided to prevent circulatory collapse caused by massive aortic regurgitation.
