title: Urgent transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic valve stenosis with acute decompensated heart failure: report of a case.
abstract: Recent evidence suggests that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is feasible for treating severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) in patients who are considered high risk for elective surgery. However, it is still unclear whether TAVR is a better option than surgical aortic valve replacement for severe AS with acute decompensated heart failure. We report a case of severe AS with acute heart failure, which was treated successfully by urgent TAVR, with cardiopulmonary support.
