Clinicians must ensure immediate tamponade management capability for percutaneous LV puncture in AS; this case leaves open broader procedural safety data.
A case of pericardial tamponade following percutaneous left ventricular puncture for the assessment of aortic stenosis is presented. Technical factors pertinent to the etiology of the complication are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that current enthusiasm for percutaneous ventricular puncture should be tempered with an awareness of the associated complications that may ensue and require immediate definitive therapy in an environment well equipped for their management.

Botham et al. (1959) conducted a case report in Aortic stenosis (n=1). Percutaneous left ventricular puncture was evaluated on Pericardial tamponade. Percutaneous left ventricular puncture for aortic stenosis assessment was complicated by pericardial tamponade, highlighting the need for awareness and immediate management capabilities.
