Abstract
Transcatheter valve interventions have transformed the outcomes of patients with valvular heart disease who are at high risk for surgery. With the increasing utilisation and expansion of transcatheter valve interventions, it is of utmost importance to be familiar with their potential complications and their subsequent management, especially given the relative infrequency of many of these issues in contemporary practice. Herein, we present a state-of-the-art review article focusing on the complications, their prevention, and treatment following transcatheter aortic valve implantation, mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, and transcatheter mitral valve replacement.
