Combined venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and transcatheter aortic valve implantation for the treatment of acute aortic prosthesis dysfunction in a high-risk patient

Abstract

We describe the case of a patient with acute bioprosthesis dysfunction in cardiogenic shock, in whom hemodynamic support was provided by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and successfully treated by transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Resumo: Apresentamos o caso de um doente com disfunção aguda de bioprótese em choque cardiogénico com suporte hemodinâmico através de oxigenação da membrana extracorporal (vaECMO) e tratado com sucesso através de implantação percutânea da válvula aórtica (TAVI).
