- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is
widely recognized as an effective treatment for Acute
Coronary Syndrome (ACS). 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].
