A 78-yeаr оld femаle with severe аоrtic stenоsis presents to the ICU following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Preprocedural transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated severe aortic stenosis with left ventricular hypertrophy and an asymmetric septal bulge. Left ventricular wall thickness in the parasternal short axis view is 1.6 cm with a small cavity. Postoperatively, the patient develops sudden onset hypotension requiring vasopressor support; however, blood pressure continues to decrease despite escalating doses of norepinephrine. The vital signs are heart rate 94 bpm, blood pressure 85/54 mm Hg, respiratory rate 18/min. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrates an underfilled left ventricle with midventricular obstruction.
