Transient Aortic Intramural Hematoma Complicating Transaortic Valve Replacement

Aorta (Stamford). 2016 Dec 1;4(6):232-234. doi: 10.12945/j.aorta.2016.16.029. eCollection 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Acute aortic intramural hematoma, which is a variant of acute aortic syndromes, most frequently occurs spontaneously and typically is treated similar to classic aortic dissection. Here, we describe a case in which an iatrogenic aortic intramural hematoma occurs shortly after transaortic valve replacement. The patient was managed conservatively, and the hematoma quickly resolved as demonstrated by serial imaging.

Keywords: Aortic intramural hematoma; Latrogenic injury; TAVR.
