Repair of iatrogenic aortic regurgitation following cardiac catheterization

J Card Surg. 2011 Sep;26(5):485-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.2011.01306.x.

Abstract

Acute aortic regurgitation (AR) related to left cardiac catheterization is an exceedingly rare complication. Valve repair is the best therapeutic option in case of isolated AR. We report the successful repair of an aortic valve tear following cardiac catheterization.
