Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is widely performed in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), having a high surgical risk. However, reports of TAVR performed in patients with anomalous coronary arteries are rare. In existing literature, several complications including coronary obstruction are reported. In this study, we report a 77-year-old female patient with severe AS and anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus, who successfully underwent TAVR. <Learning objective: During transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with anomalous coronary arteries, special attention might be given to the topographical location of the coronary artery from the aortic root and the implanted valve for preventing a coronary obstruction.>.

Case Report: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in a Patient With Severe Aortic Stenosis, Left Ventricular Dysfunction, and an Anomalous Left Circumflex Artery.

Project description:The role of cardiac computed tomography in the evaluation of patients for transcatheter aortic valve implantation is well-established. However, its role in the evaluation of anomalous vessels in the pre-procedure planning, intra-procedural fusion imaging and post-procedure assessment of vessel patency is not yet defined. This case report illustrates the utility of cardiac CT throughout the management of complex structural interventions. Here, we describe an anomalous left coronary artery where the course of the anomalous vessel and its proximity to the aortic valve annulus is defined allowing the selection of the most appropriate balloon expandable valve with a planned deployment. Upon follow up, patency of this anomalous vessel is ascertained using CT as well as the transcatheter valve function and leaflet thickening.

Delayed-Onset Left Main Coronary Artery Obstruction More than 24 Hours after Balloon-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Project description:Coronary obstruction during or after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a rare and catastrophic sequela that occurs most frequently just after valve implantation. Even rarer is the delayed clinical presentation, in some few patients, of coronary obstruction on the day after self-expandable valve implantation. Here we describe a case of balloon-expandable (not self-expandable) transcatheter aortic valve replacement, followed by partial obstruction of the left main coronary artery on the day after that procedure in a 93-year-old man, despite normal left ventricular contraction just after valve implantation. Visual evaluation of the echocardiogram for left ventricular wall motion was not sufficient, by itself, to achieve early diagnosis of the obstruction. We performed emergency percutaneous coronary intervention. Ninety days after the procedure, the patient was in New York Heart Association functional class I.

Management of Coronary Artery Disease in the Setting of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Project description:Aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) frequently co-exist, as they share a common pathophysiology and risk factors. Due to lack of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and exclusion of significant CAD in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) trials, the optimal method of revascularisation of CAD in patients undergoing TAVR remains unknown. Observational studies and meta-analyses have shown varied results in outcomes for patients with CAD undergoing TAVR, and no significant difference in post-TAVR outcomes in patients who underwent revascularisation either prior to or during TAVR versus those who did not. However, some observational studies have shown that patients with lower residual SYNTAX score (rSS) post-revascularisation have better outcomes post-TAVR compared to those with higher rSS. RCTs are needed to clearly understand whether revascularisation is beneficial in these patients. Until then, management of CAD in patients undergoing TAVR must be individualised based on discussion with the heart team.

Left coronary ostial stenosis developing 15 months after transcatheter aortic valve replacement with balloon-expandable valve.

Project description:We present the case of an 82-year-old man whose left coronary ostium became obstructed 15 months after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable valve. The patient underwent TAVR for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis with no complications. Fifteen months after the initial TAVR, the patient complained of chest pain while exercising, and the exercise stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy demonstrated the development of regional myocardial ischemia in the region of the left coronary artery. Coronary angiography implied severe stenosis in the ostium of the left coronary artery. Computed tomography angiography and intravascular ultrasonography indicated a soft tissue component along with stent struts, which was considered to cause delayed coronary obstruction. Our report emphasizes the importance of having a low threshold for clinically suspecting delayed coronary obstruction in patients who have undergone TAVR, even after several years of the procedure. <Learning objective:Delayed coronary obstruction (DCO) should be suspected in patients presenting with new ischemic symptoms after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). DCO may occur even in the case of TAVR with a balloon-expandable prosthetic valve, on antithrombotic regimens, and several years after the initial procedure.>.

Kissing balloon inflation for transcatheter aortic valve replacement and abutting ostial coronary artery stent.

Project description:In patients with ostial coronary stents protruding into the aorta, there is concern for stent injury while undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV). An 82-year-old male with history of symptomatic aortic stenosis, heart failure, and coronary artery disease with multiple interventions to right coronary artery (RCA) and a history of stent fracture requiring stent-in-stent placement one year previously, was evaluated for TAVR. His ostial RCA stent was protruding into the aorta at the level of sinotubular junction, with ostial stent to aortic wall (SAW) distance of 25.2 mm. There was concern for balloon inflation during TAVR leading to stent injury. The RCA was cannulated with a 6 French JR4 guide and wired with 0.014' coronary wire. Appropriately sized noncompliant balloon was advanced into RCA. Under rapid pacing, the coronary balloon was inflated across the RCA ostium followed by simultaneous deployment of THV. Intravascular imaging of the ostial RCA stent revealed no stent fracture. SAW distance is important to determine the possibility of balloon-induced stent injury during valve deployment. In cases where an ostial stent may interact with balloon inflation, kissing-balloon inflation may be performed to prevent stent injury.Learning objectiveIn patients with ostial coronary stents protruding into the aorta, stent to aortic wall distance is important to determine the possibility of balloon-induced stent injury during balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve deployment.
