Percutaneous Management of a Contained Annular Rupture Occurring With Self-Expanding Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Abstract

Annular rupture is a rare catastrophic event during transcatheter aortic valve replacement, often life threatening and requiring emergent surgical repair. We describe, herein, a case of contained annular rupture successfully managed percutaneously with coiling and polymer injection. This is a novel technique to manage this complication. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
