Abstract
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an established, highly effective procedure in selected patients with severe degenerative aortic valve stenosis at high risk for conventional surgery.
Case presentation: We report a case of a 74-year-old Caucasian man who had an acute left main occlusion after transcatheter implantation of balloon-expandable valve prosthesis, followed by coronary intervention with successful recanalization.
Conclusions: Acute coronary occlusion is a rare life-threatening complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation that is poorly predictable and requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍：
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
