Abstrakt: We report a unique complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in which there is mechanical entrapment of two Edward Sapien valves. The tandem valve configuration created a high gradient across the valves stuck in tandem. The images and videos in this case capture findings that underscore the complexity of interaction between two prosthetic valves. We believe this case serves a high teaching value for physicians taking care of patients with aortic stenosis managed with TAVR approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
