Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR) presents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical valve replacement, albeit not without its own set of complications. A rare complication is the infolding of the self-expanding valve, which can precipitate cardiac arrest. The estimated incidence rate of this complication stands at 1.6%. The management of this complication hinges on either balloon dilation or valve replacement. This article discusses a case involving a 78-year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis. Following TAVR, the patient experienced asystole due to valve infolding, highlighting the need for heightened vigilance and refined intervention strategies in the management of TAVR complications.
