Recurrence of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Requiring Alcohol Septal Ablation after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Abstract: Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is sometimes observed in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). It is still controversial how to manage the remaining severe AS, when LVOT obstruction is well-controlled by medical therapy. We report a case with acute recurrence of LVOT obstruction requiring emergent alcohol septal ablation (ASA) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), even in a stable state on beta-blockers. For the ASA procedure, transesophageal echocardiography was useful t… Show more

“…Most of the current literature is limited to case reports and series [4, 9‒11]. Several of these reports have described acute hemodynamic compromise after valve implantation; this is thought to be due to the abrupt decrease in afterload after valve placement and subsequent worsening of preexisting dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO).…”

“…Currently, ASA has been reported to be a bail-out therapeutic choice to manage severe intraventricular gradient after TAVI. 4 , 5 , 10–12 Alcohol septal ablation is less invasive than surgical resection. However, up to 20% of patients might not have an appropriate septal artery.…”

“…Since the haemodynamic profile of such cases is similar to those of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has been reported as a bail-out therapeutic choice. 4 , 5 However, some cases might not be eligible for ASA due to technical issues. We describe the case of a patient who we successfully treated with medication and dual-chamber pacing after recovery from acute haemodynamic collapse by temporary pacing from the right ventricular (RV) apex.…”

“…TAVI for AS complicated with HOCM would introduce hemodynamic collapse due to deteriorated LVOTO caused by the abrupt afterload decrease. 5,6) In contrast, PTSMA for LVOTO would develop complete AV block as complication for remaining severe AS. As mentioned above, there are controversy about the perioperative management of AS and coexisting HOCM undergoing TAVI.…”
