AI Article Synopsis
- An 81-year-old man underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) using Evolut R due to severe aortic stenosis, with no immediate complications.
- Despite a successful surgery, the patient experienced multiple instances of acute heart failure during his hospital stay, with worsening mitral regurgitation (MR) detected.
- The findings highlight the need for tailored treatment strategies for severe aortic stenosis patients who also have mitral regurgitation, as it can complicate recovery.
Article Abstract
The patient was an 81-year-old man. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation( TAVI) was performed for severe aortic stenosis using Evolut R. The patient moved to intensive care unit without an adverse event after the operation. But repeated acute heart failure occurred several times during hospital stay. Mitral regurgitation (MR) was worsened from mild at baseline to moderate or more by transthoracic echocardiography. Various factors that worsened MR after TAVI have been reported, and treatment strategy for severe aortic stenosis patients with MR should be carefully developed.
