The AngioVac transcatheter aspiration system (Angiodynamics) is used to percutaneously extract thrombi as well as vegetations typically growing from the right heart. We report a case of a failed mitral stented bioprosthesis due to a large vegetation that was treated successfully with AngioVac evacuation through a transseptal puncture followed by valve-in-valve intervention in the same setting.
