Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement for patients at high surgical risk, with favorable procedural outcomes. Aortic regurgitation remains an off‐label indication. Recent case reports describe the successful use of a second CoreValve inside a malpositioned first CoreValve. In the current case, we report for the first time a valve‐in‐valve procedure for the treatment of a severely insufficient CoreValve prosthesis using the Edwards‐Sapien prosthesis. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
