Transcatheter heart valve endocarditis is a rare, but life threatening complication. We describe the case of a patient who was successfully treated by transcatheter aortic valve‐in‐valve‐in‐valve replacement with a favorable 1‐year outcome, despite severe early complications. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
