Risk of Coronary Obstruction in Repeat TAVR

As we gradually consolidate the information on the duration of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) the focus seems to be moving towards the feasibility of repeat TAVR. How long the valve will last no longer matters as much as how feasible a new procedure is.  The supra-annular leaflet position and tall stent frame of the

Delayed Coronary Obstruction After TAVR: A Complication We Had Not Considered

Delayed coronary obstruction (after TAVR, outside the cath lab) is a rare complication with high mortality rates, not unlike acute obstruction. Cardiologists should be expectant and, upon the slightest suspicion of this complication, patients should be brought back to the cath lab for a coronary angiography. Occlusion immediately after implant release has been well-studied and
