Abstract

Migration of transcatheter aortic valve can occur during or after the deployment of the valve. We report a case of the migrated transcatheter aortic valve that required surgical intervention for its removal. The case highlights the importance of the availability of a cardiac surgical team and cardiopulmonary bypass machine when the percutaneous technique of retrieval is not feasible.
