Abstract

Introduction. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a treatment method
for aortic stenosis with proven efficacy and recommended by professional societies in the cardiovascular
field. Complications during TAVI are rare but important and potentially devastating, especially embolization
or migration of prothesis.
Case presentation. We present a case of an 82-year-old patient in whom the prosthesis was displaced
during implantation and later expanded in the descending aorta with a new prosthesis implanted in the
aortic valve position.
Conclusion. Dislocation of the prosthesis during implantation is a serious complication. In most cases
the prosthesis can be repositioned elsewhere in the aorta or perform a valve-in-valve procedure. In case of
failure, the availability of cardiac surgery is important. Technological improvements, increasing operator
experience and adequate periprocedural preparation minimize the risk of complications.
