  • Title: Iatrogenic dissection of the ascending aorta during TAVI sealed with the CoreValve revalving prosthesis.
    Author: Ong SH, Mueller R, Gerckens U.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2011 May 01; 77(6):910-4. PubMed ID: 21425427.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is rapidly becoming an accepted treatment option for a selected group of high risk or inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, this procedure is not without complications. We report a case of acute type A aortic dissection due to balloon aortic valvuloplasty during TAVI that was successfully sealed by the CoreValve prosthesis, thus avoiding surgical intervention.
