title: Aortic Annulus Rupture During TAVI: A Therapeutic Dilemma in the Inoperable Patient.
abstract: Aortic annulus rupture is a rare complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), related to relative valve oversizing or eccentric calcification. A case is reported of periprocedural cardiac tamponade caused by aortic annulus rupture. Optimal management of periprocedural aortic annulus rupture and pseudoaneurysm formation in patients considered too frail for surgery should be discussed in a multidisciplinary setting.
