Key result
TAVR linked to a rare, fatal RCA occlusion 6 months after successful implantation.
Why the study?
Coronary ostia involvement is a rare complication after TAVR, typically occurring immediately after valve deployment, with no prior reports of very late presentation.

Highlights the rare possibility of very late coronary ostial obstruction occurring 6 months after TAVR, a complication typically seen immediately post-deployment.
Ramírez et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Right coronary artery occlusion after TAVR (n=1). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was evaluated. A 78-year-old man experienced a rare, fatal right coronary artery occlusion 6 months after successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a direct flow valve.
