Abstract
Retroperitoneal hemorrhage is a rare but severe vascular access-related
complication of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
The diagnosis is often delayed because of nonspecific clinical
presentations. Although the best management protocol is still
controversial, endovascular treatment or embolization should be chosen
in uncontrollable ongoing bleeding.
