Abstract

A 88-year-old woman with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis underwent percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), complicated by aortic annulus rupture. This was treated with emergency surgery in a hybrid operative suite (Figs 1 and 2). An 18-month follow-up negative for cardiac events is recorded. We highlight the need of performing TAVI in a hybrid room with a cardiac surgeon on stand-by.
