Popis: There has been significant rise in Transcatheter aortic valve implantations (TAVI) worldwide. Displacement of the TAVI device is a potential life threatening complication. We present a case of 79 years old with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI. When the valve got displaced into the ascending aorta, a second valve was deployed. The second valve gets displaced into the left ventricle. Failure of interventional efforts forced us to surgically explore to find extensive bruising and a dissected ascending aorta. Though the rate of device migration is quite low, a good understanding of the implicating factors will help the operator to avoid such a disaster.
