Case Report (n=1)
No
Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram after TAVR is helpful to detect rare but severe complications such as immediate aortic dissection.
TEE after TAVR may detect rare descending aortic dissection; hypothesis-generating before routine use.
-Aortic dissection of descending aorta was detected by intraoperative TEE in a case of 67-year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis after TAVR. -Transesophageal echocardiogram after TAVR procedure is helpful to detect this rare complication.
