%0 Journal Article %T Ventricular perforation as a complication of percutaneous valve replacement %A C de Jager %A IL Norval %A JR Tynan %J South African Journal of Radiology %D 2012 %I %X Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most commonly encountered valvular disease in developed countries. Once symptomatic, this disease carries a dismal prognosis. Patients unfit for surgical valve replacement may require transcatheter aortic valve implantations (TAVI). We present a complication of this novel approach where a prosthetic valve is delivered through the femoral artery by means of a Retroflex delivery system developed by Edwards Lifesciences. %U http://www.ajol.info/index.php/sajr/article/view/81493
