Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation remains associated with potentially catastrophic complications like aortic dissection, aortic valvular rupture, or left ventricle perforation.
While TAVI is widely supported and adopted, it remains associated with potentially catastrophic complications such as aortic dissection and left ventricle perforation.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is rapidly spreading across the world with the endorsement of the cardiological community(1) and the supporting results of randomised controlled trials (2,3). However, TAVI-related complication like aortic dissection, aortic valvular rupture, or left ventricle perforation are still potentially catastrophic (4).
