N2 - Device malposition and dysfunction with resultant severe aortic insufficiency are known complications of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Fortunately, these complications can often be successfully treated with a transcatheter valve-in-valve (VinV) implantation. However, prosthetic leaflet dysfunction or immobility from the VinV configuration can lead to severe central aortic insufficiency. We report the first known case of implantation of a third SAPIEN prosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) during TAVI as a valuable bailout strategy to deal with severe aortic insufficiency after VinV implantation.
