Reportedly, the mechanism of DCO occurring months or years after TAVI is thought to be thrombus formation or THV endothelialization. In our case, the low-density mass was considered to be endothelium which developed along the THV frame. Low sinotubular junction height and higher THV position could be the underlying mechanisms of DCO. Percutaneous coronary intervention is a possible treatment option for DCO caused by THV endothelialization.
