This case demonstrates that percutaneous repair of post-TAVR sub-annular aortic rupture is feasible, and iatrogenic tricuspid injury can be managed acutely with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Aortic annular rupture is a rare and usually fatal complication of TAVR. We report the case of a sub-annular aortic rupture contained in the right ventricle and percutaneously repaired. The procedure was complicated by new-onset severe tricuspid regurgitation related to tricuspid injury during wire externalization and immediately treated by transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
