While transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an accepted treatment modality in appropriately selected patients there remain modest complication rates. New TAVR devices, through novel design features, may overcome some of these complications. We present the first case of full re‐sheathing and retrieval of a Lotus Valve to facilitate a change in prosthesis size. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
