It was reported that approximately 1 month following the implant of a transcatheter aortic valve, the patient was re-hospitalized.It was observed that the patient had a severe systemic infection, which led to tissue degradation and migration of the valve.Extensive surgical intervention was performed to surgically repair the valve and the root, however the tissue was too infected.The valve was ultimately explanted, and the patient ultimately died the following day.
