Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is becoming a reality in the management of patients with severe aortic stenosis and high or prohibitive risk for standard surgical management. Current understanding of the potential adverse events associated with this procedure is limited. Risks associated with TAVI differ from those related to surgical valve replacement and include vascular injury; stroke; cardiac injury such as heart block, coronary obstruction, and cardiac perforation; paravalvular leak; and valve misplacement. The clinical experience of multiple centers experience with different valve implantation systems and techniques was reviewed. Awareness of how complications occur might help in their avoidance, recognition, and management. Ultimately, improved understanding of the potential complications associated with TAVI might help improve outcomes and allow wider application of this therapy.
