Poster Abstract
• The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a relatively common treatment option for aortic stenosis, especially given the growing number of older patients with severe degenerative aortic stenosis
• While the procedure is overall very safe, there are still a number of potentially serious complications including bleeding, stroke, and cardiac tamponade. One rare complication is a dynamic left ventricular obstruction post valve deployment, which has been called the “Suicide LV” phenomenon.
• Rapid hemodynamic compromise resulting from this can result in significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed in time.
• Given the increasing frequency of patients undergoing this procedure, it is important to highlight this underrecognized problem
