Although complications associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms are rarely observed above the diaphragm, they could lead to catastrophic outcomes once they develop. Aortic valve perforation is one of those rare and major adverse events. In this report, we describe a case of an 82-year-old woman who suffered aortic valve perforation during EVAR caused by the wire-push technique. Her hemodynamics became unstable during the procedure and did not improve thereafter. Echocardiography performed 8 days after EVAR revealed aortic valve perforation. Surgical intervention was abandoned because her general condition was poor. The patient died 4 months after EVAR due to heart failure. It should be reminded that inadvertent manipulation of the wire can cause aortic valve perforation even during EVAR.
