Aortic valve lesion after coronary angiography.
A 56-year-old patient admitted to hospital for the suspicion of an acute coronary syndrome underwent coronary angiography without detection of significant lesions. Seven days later the echocardiography showed acute severe aortic valve insufficiency. Intraoperatively we found a perforated leaflet probably due to lesion during transcatheter procedure.
