With older age and increasing comorbidities, conventional operative procedures for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis are associated with a high surgical risk. To date, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) represents an accepted alternative method of intervention with a cardiovascular and all-cause mortality similar to operative replacement at early and long-term follow-up in this high risk population (Thomas et al., Circulation 124:425–433, 2011). Despite growing experience of the operators and improvement of the devices procedural and perioperative complications still occur (Panchal et al., Am J Cardiol, 2013). Aortic annulus rupture as well as the rupture of the membranous ventricular septum has been reported (Aminian et al., Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 81:E72–E75, 2013). We present the unusual case of an 80-year-old female who developed a false aneurysm following a contained aortic annulus rupture during a TF-TAVI procedure.
