Acute Aortic Regurgitation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Procedure.

This study reports the case of a 75-year-old woman who developed aortic regurgitation (AR) a few hours after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The patient underwent the TAVI procedure for aortic stenosis and became hypotensive in recovery. A transthoracic echo revealed cardiac tamponade and around 1500 ml of blood was drained over several hours.
