Figure 12. Acute Proximal Aortic Dissection.

Figure 12

The transcatheter valve (A and C, blue arrows) is well positioned; however, a dissection flap is seen (red arrows) from long axis (A) and short axis (B) views. The complex nature of the dissection is only appreciated by 3-dimensional imaging (C, multiple red arrows) (Online Video 12). This complication led to acute tamponade requiring open heart surgery.
