Key result
Trans-apical transcatheter aortic valve replacement was followed by the development of a new left ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia in a reported case.
Highlights a potential complication of ventricular tachycardia following trans-apical TAVR.
Should not change TAVR practice after one case; leaves open whether trans-apical access increases LVOT VT risk.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new procedure for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. We report a case of a new left ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia following TAVR.
