Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the dominant treatment strategy for severe aortic stenosis in patients with high and intermediate surgical risk. Although complications are significant cause of increasing mortality after TAVR and bailout techniques have been well established, we still encounter a rare complication without widely accepted bailout option. We present a rare complication of valvuloplasty balloon entrapment to a self-expanding valve strut with successful bailout.

Percutaneous coronary angioplasty is increasingly employed in the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease. Different steerable guide wires used to open occluded vessel and facilitate balloon and stent deployment. However, the guide-wire itself is not without hazard: it may perforate or dissect the vessel, but fracture or entrapment is uncommon.

Cannulation of the coronary sinus is a common procedure with infrequent complications. We report an unusual case of a steerable "dumb-bell" catheter passed through the ostium of the coronary sinus prior to an intended radiofrequency ablation procedure becoming stuck and requiring general anesthesia for extraction. We caution against the use of such catheters with a "waist" for the cannulation of the coronary sinus.
