CTICasesTAVR Valve Embolization
Imaging findings
An improperly positioned Edwards Sapien aortic valve device located in the proximal descending aorta following a TAVR procedure.
Key takeaways
Valve embolization is a known complication during TAVR. If the device remains in the aorta and does not obstruct the arch vessels, it may be fixed against the wall. Rapid right ventricular pacing is utilized during the procedure to minimize cardiac output and prevent this displacement.
