Delayed Coronary Occlusion After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in an Elderly Patient with Atrial Fibrillation

Özet

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an effective procedure in selected patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. However, the complications associated with TAVR are still an important problem today. One of the life-threatening complications associated with TAVR is coronary occlusion, which requires immediate diagnosis and intervention. This serious complication also leads to poor prognosis and mortality. In this case, we aimed to present the late coronary artery occlusion due to thrombus after TAVR and to emphasize the uncertainties and complexities in antithrombotic treatment in patients with TAVR, which may lead to catastrophic outcomes, especially in patients with atrial fibrillation
