This case demonstrates a disruption of the transcatheter heart valve leaflets causing severe aortic regurgitation as one of the complication of BPV fracture. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a TAVI in a patient who was already operated with ViV-TAVI. Although case series described few complications with improvement in clinical status, the procedure should be established with appropriate planning and careful technique.
