Abstract

Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is considered the gold-standard treatment for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS), yet 30% are considered inappropriate for SAVR on account of the advanced age and multiple comorbidities. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) provides an option for high-risk patients with severe AS, especially for those accompanied with acute cardiogenic shock and multiple organ dysfunction. Herein, we presented a case of a patient resuscitated successfully with TAVI in combination with intra-aortic balloon pump.

Highlights

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular disease in the Western world, especially among individuals above 60 years of age [1]
Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains the first choice in younger or lower risk aortic valve stenosis (AS) patients, yet critically ill elderly patients are at highrisk for SAVR [9]
We presented an extremely severe AS case with above complications, successfully resuscitated emergency Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) under the assistant of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP)
