Key result
Percutaneous management of a Myval transcatheter heart valve embolization into an abdominal aortic aneurysm during TAVR was successfully performed with favorable outcomes.
Why the study?
Transcatheter heart valve embolization is a serious complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement requiring prompt management to avoid emergency open-heart surgery, but embolization of a Myval transcatheter heart valve had not been previously reported.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates that embolization of a Myval transcatheter heart valve during TAVR can be successfully managed percutaneously, avoiding emergency open-heart surgery.

May allow percutaneous bailout in rare TAVR embolization; leaves open generalizability beyond single cases.
Transcatheter heart valve embolization is a serious and rare complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Having a strategy for promptly managing transcatheter heart valve embolization is crucial to avoid emergency conversion from transcatheter aortic valve replacement to open-heart surgery. Many cases of transcatheter heart valve embolization occurring with balloon-expandable prostheses such as the SAPIEN 3 (Edwards LifeSciences Corporation) valve and self-expandable prostheses such as the ACURATE neo (Boston Scientific Corporation) valve have been reported in the literature. Here, for the first time (to the authors' knowledge), the case of a Myval (Meril Life Sciences Pvt Ltd) transcatheter heart valve embolization during transcatheter aortic valve replacement, which was treated percutaneously with favorable outcomes, is reported.

García‐Escobar et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Transcatheter heart valve embolization during TAVR (n=1). Percutaneous management of transcatheter heart valve embolization was evaluated on Clinical outcome. Percutaneous management of a Myval transcatheter heart valve embolization into an abdominal aortic aneurysm during TAVR was successfully performed with favorable outcomes.
