Images in cardiovascular medicine. Misdeployment of Edwards Sapien valve in transfemoral aortic valve implantation due to iatrogenic endarterectomy. Circulation. 2010 ; 121(13):1542-30009-7322http://hdl.handle.net/10668/906Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an expanding procedure thus far restricted to a target population of old and high-comorbidity patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. The need for bulky devices (up to 24F) combined with the high prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in these patients explains the increased risk of vascular complications in transfemoral Edwards Sapien (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, Calif) transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures, with a rate of 20% for the transfemoral arm of either the Placement of AoRTic traNscathetER valves in the European Union (PARTNER EU) trial or the SOURCE Registry.1,2enEstenosis de la Válvula AórticaEndarterectomíaArteria FemoralImplantación de Prótesis de Válvulas CardíacasEnfermedad IatrogénicaArteria IlíacaMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Cardiovascular Diseases::Heart Diseases::Heart Valve Diseases::Aortic Valve StenosisMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures::Vascular Surgical Procedures::EndarterectomyMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Cardiovascular System::Blood Vessels::Arteries::Femoral ArteryMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures::Cardiac Surgical Procedures::Heart Valve Prosthesis ImplantationMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::Disease Attributes::Iatrogenic DiseaseMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Cardiovascular System::Blood Vessels::Arteries::Iliac ArteryMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::Aged::Aged, 80 and overresearch article20368533open access10.1161/CIR.0b013e3181d9b96e1524-4539
