Abstract

Abstract: A serious complication of transcatheter valves is the mechanistic failure of the deployment system and prosthesis migration. We report the case of a transcatheter aortic valve implantation which failed during implantation resulting in dislodgement of the prosthesis. Emergency surgery to retrieve the deployment system and surgically replace the native valve was the only option to salvage the patient.
