The effect of transcatheter aortic valve implantation on pulmonary artery pressures in a patient suffering from chronic heart failure: a case report.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the direct effects of TAVI on continuous PA pressures in a patient with poor LV function and severe aortic regurgitation. Elective TAVI appeared to be safe and very effective in reverting severe pulmonary hypertension. Most strikingly, drug interventions could not affect the elevated pulmonary pressures, but TAVI corrected the aortic valve insufficiency with normalization of left-sided pulmonary hypertension.
