A Case of Light Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis Misdiagnosed After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Abstract：Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been widely used in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). However, the clinical symptoms of these patients often overlap with age-related degenerative changes or valvular disease, which may mask underlying systemic diseases such as cardiac amyloidosis (CA). This case report describes a patient with CA misdiagnosed after TAVR due to atypical early symptoms, aiming to alert clinicians to the importance of thorough evaluation of non-specific postoperative symptoms to improve early detection.
