title: A case of double stent implantation for left main coronary artery occlusion in transcatheter aortic valve implantation using SAPIEN XT device.
abstract: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an established alternative and less invasive procedure to replace heart valves in symptomatic aortic stenosis patients; however, severe, life-threatening complications still exist. Coronary artery occlusion is a primary complication. We report a case of left main coronary artery occlusion after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, which was ameliorated using a double stent implantation technique.
