It was reported that 4 days following the implant of this transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valve within a pre-existing medtronic transcatheter valve, the patient presented to the emergency department with non-cardiac chest pain and a hypertensive emergency.The systolic blood pressure measured in the range of 210 millimeters of mercury (mm hg) and the diastolic blood pressure was >100 mmhg.The chest pain was a short lived episode of midsternal, non-radiating chest pressure, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, and mild low extremity swelling.An electrocardiogram (ecg) showed no evidence of obvious st elevations to indicate acute ischemia or infarct.Troponins were reported as ¿flat¿ which measured 45 and 41.The b-type natriuretic peptide (bnp) was minimally elevated at 149.Intravenous diuretics and a nitroglycerin drip were administered.Cardiology was consulted.Hospitalization was required and was prolonged by the hypertensive event.Discharge occurred 2 days following admission.The chest pain event was reported causal related to the transcatheter valve.The hypertensive event was reported as unrelated to the medtronic products and the implant procedure.The cause was not reported.Both events were reported as resolving.
