Basilica procedure for prevention of coronary obstruction during transcatheter aortic valve implantation: case report from Latam
Keyword(s):
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is considered a standard treatment for many symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis. Coronary artery occlusion after transcatheter aortic valve implantation is associated with a mortality rate of up to 50%. In this case report we described a patient with severe aortic bioprosthesis dysfunction, at high risk of coronary obstruction after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. This patient underwent Basilica procedure followed by valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The patient demonstrated good improvement and was discharged from hospital after 2 days, without any symptoms. The patient remained asymptomatic at 6 months of follow-up.
