J Am Coll Cardiol 2012;60:493–501 Although pacemaker implantation after a percutaneous aortic valve (TAVI) implantation, constitutes a significant proportion of the complications related to the procedure, this is generally considered a benign event.

Original title: Incidence, Management and Outcomes of Cardiac Tamponade During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Reference: Ahmed Rezq et al. J Am Coll Cardiol Intv 2012;5:1264 –72 Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) for high risk patients is a valid strategy today but not without complications. Among these is cardiac tamponade, still rare but important because of its implication.
