Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is recognized as an effective therapeutic option for elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis with high or extreme risk for surgery. Valve prosthesis embolization and migration are rare complications, but potentially life-threatening. This case presents a perioperative anesthetic management of a transcatheter valve embolization and migration twice intraprocedural. Herein, complications of percutaneous approach and immediate resuscitation by a multidisciplinary Heart Team are discussed.
