Imaging findings
During a TAVR procedure, the valve was observed not fully expanding during annulus dilation and device placement. It subsequently slipped off and migrated into the aortic arch. Follow-up imaging confirmed the migrated valve, noting that major vessels like the carotids were spared.
Key takeaways
This complication was attributed to a system failure during inflation, preventing the TAVR valve from fully expanding and securing its position. The migrated valve luckily did not occlude any major vessels, leading to a decision to implant a new valve. This highlights potential device-related issues during TAVR procedures.
