Suicide Left Ventricle (SLV)
Dr Fisher saw one of these on her nightshift. Its a well known complication of BAV and TAVR. When a patient develops hours later cardiogenic shock post procedure , this is one of the complications to think off. The link to this case report actually gives a good explanation how the outflow tract obstruction occurs. I have wondered if a preprocedure Brockenbrough sign could predict this complication during initial diagnostic catheterization.
Thanks to Dr Beth Fisher for bringing this case to my attention.
