Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative therapy in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. Despite being less invasive than open-chest aortic valve replacement, TAVI remains to be associated with the potential for serious complications and one of them is coronary occlusion. Coronary occlusion during TAVI is a life-threatening complication that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.
