Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is an established option for treating patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis; however, severe, life-threatening complications, such as valve migration, are possible. We report the case of an 82-year-old woman whose Edwards Sapien XT valve migrated into the left ventricular outflow tract one day after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We used an inflated balloon to adjust the position of the migrated valve before performing a valve-in-valve procedure via a transapical approach, which resulted in a good valve implantation.
