Key result
Transapical retrieval and additional valve implantation manage LV valve migration complicating TAVI.
Why the study?
Malpositioning of transcatheter aortic valves during TAVI can lead to serious complications such as valve migration into the left ventricle, a rare but challenging adverse outcome.
Case Report (n=1)
Retrieval of a migrated transcatheter valve from the left ventricle through the apex under ECMO support is a viable management strategy for this rare complication.

Single-case TAVI migration managed via transapical retrieval and valves; leaves open optimal prevention and does not change practice.
Cao et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis (n=1). Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was evaluated on Valve migration into the left ventricle and subsequent management. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was complicated by valve migration into the left ventricle, managed by transapical implantation of additional valves and retrieval of the migrated valve.
