Key result
Balloon expandable aortic valve embolization during TAVI was successfully managed without surgery by deploying a second valve and repositioning the embolized valve in the aortic arch.
Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates that balloon expandable aortic valve embolization during TAVI can be managed percutaneously with a second valve and repositioning of the embolized valve in the aortic arch.

Case supports nonsurgical bailout for rare TAVI embolization; leaves open need for larger studies on safety and reproducibility.
One of the problems is valve embolization at the time of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, which is a rare but serious complication. In this case, we have shown balloon expandable aortic valve embolization TAVI which is a rare complication and we managed with second valve without surgery. Although there is not enough experience in the literature, embolized valve was re-positioned in the arch aorta between truncus brachiocephalicus and left common carotid artery.

Ayhan et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Aortic valve embolization during TAVI (n=1). Deployment of a second valve and repositioning of the embolized valve was evaluated. Balloon expandable aortic valve embolization during TAVI was successfully managed without surgery by deploying a second valve and repositioning the embolized valve in the aortic arch.
