Inspite of advances in equipment and experience of interventional cardiologist, still there are rare complications occurred [1]. Iatrogenic injury of the aortic valve leaflet is a rare. Aortic insufficiency (AI) after a PCI suggests an iatrogenic valve injury. Aortic leaflet injury is not common but possible complication of PCI. Because of the serious consequences, it should be mentioned in the informed consent. Aortic repair of iatrogenic injury is possible, and it can be performed with excellent clinical and functional midterm results. So, Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is the last option [2].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
