Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation by an apical approach has been developed as an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement. Complications with these relatively new procedures are being reported. We report a case of transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation, in which a pseudoaneurysm at the apex of the left ventricle as a complication of the procedure developed in the patient and was treated without surgery. The defect spontaneously closed.
