Outcome of patients after transcatheter aortic valve embolization.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the mid- to long-term follow-up of patients after valve embolization at the time of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Background: Transcatheter heart valve (THV) embolization is a rare but serious complication during TAVI. Although various techniques have been developed to manage acute complications and reduce periprocedural morbidity/mortality, long-term clinical and hemodynamic consequences after these events are unknown.
