Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become an alternative intervention in high‐risk and inoperable patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. The procedure has been associated with favorable clinical outcomes and safety profile in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). We describe a case of improved kidney function in a patient with ESRD without further need for dialysis after TAVR. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
