Bharat S. Sambyal, Nitin Patel, Prashant Panda, Yash Paul Sharma
TL;DR
A rare case of a mycotic aneurysm in the ascending aorta occurred after a TAVR procedure, highlighting a serious but uncommon complication.
Contribution
This paper presents a rare clinical case of a mycotic ascending aortic aneurysm following TAVR.
Findings
Mycotic aneurysms can develop in the ascending aorta after TAVR.
This case highlights the potential for severe complications following transcatheter procedures.
Abstract
Prosthetic valve endocarditis, though a rare complication, carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Mycotic aneurysms are even less common and have been reported in association with femoral access (femoral artery aneurysms) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe a rare case of a mycotic aneurysm that developed in the ascending aorta after a TAVR procedure.
