Abstract

Coronary obstruction during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare yet life-threatening complication. Emergent resection of the obstructing calcium is a quick and simple method to restore coronary perfusion in TAVR over emergency CABG. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12752 (J Card Surg 2016;31:315-317).
