Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was successfully performed with a favorable outcome in a 76-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis who developed intraoperative ventricular tachycardia.
Case Report (n=1)
TAVI can be successfully managed even when complicated by intraoperative ventricular tachycardia in high-risk elderly patients.
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular heart disorder in older adults, primarily caused by age-related degenerative changes. In high-risk cases, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a viable and less invasive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for patients with symptomatic severe AS and an elevated risk of operative mortality. We report a favorable outcome of TAVI performed under monitored anesthesia care in a 76-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities who developed ventricular tachycardia during the procedure conducted under local anesthesia with light sedation.
