Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that transcatheter aortic valve replacement TAVR is feasible for treating severe aortic valve stenosis AS in patients who are considered high risk for elective surgery However it is still unclear whether TAVR is a better option than surgical aortic valve replacement for severe AS with acute decompensated heart failure We report a case of severe AS with acute heart failure which was treated successfully by urgent TAVR with cardiopulmonary support
