Abstract
We hereby report a case of severe shock from left ventricular outflow tract obstruction following transcatheter aortic valve replacement that did not respond to medical therapy and had to be treated with emergent alcohol septal ablation (ASA). Emergent ASA should be considered for bail-out treatment for these refractory cases. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
