title: An unusual complication after coronary catheterization.
abstract: Valvular complications after coronary catheterization are extremely rare and are seldom reported in the literature. We report a patient who experienced acute traumatic aortic regurgitation after repeated coronary transcatheter procedures. Despite clinical stabilization under medical treatment, his clinical course led to an aortic-valve replacement.
