Abstract

Coronary cusp tear is a very rare complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We present the case of an 85-year old male with native aortic valve cusp tear following TAVI. Our case highlights the advantage of transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography as an easily accessible and affordable imaging modality to access complications that can occur after TAVI.
