This literature review focuses on the choice of treatment strategies in patients with aortic stenosis. The main surgical techniques for this condition are presented. The rationale for the efficiency of transcatheter aortic valve implantation is provided. The results of studies comparing the outcomes of surgical and endovascular correction of aortic stenosis are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the treatment choices in patients with aortic stenosis and a history of coronary artery bypass grafting. Conclusions on the perspectives of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in this cohort of patients are reached.

Abstract Background Increasing number of symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis is treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Stroke is one of the most serious complications of TAVI, and the majority of cerebral events in patients undergoing TAVI have an embolic origin. Case summary A 90-year-old female underwent trans-femoral TAVI for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Just before the implantation of the transcatheter heart valve (THV), transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) showed a mobile, high-echoic mass attached to the THV, which gradually enlarged to 26 mm, then spontaneously detached from the THV and flowed up the ascending aorta, disappearing from the TOE field of. After the procedure, the patient presented with ischaemic stroke. The patient’s stroke was thought to have resulted from the embolism migrating to the distal cerebral arteries. Discussion The detailed images acquired with TOE during TAVI enabled the prompt identification of the unusual intracardiac mass.
