Abstract A 40-year old man underwent four aortic operations because of endocarditis and subsequent prosthesis dehiscence. The last recurrence presented with acute severe aortic regurgitation of a Pericarbon Freedom stentless bioprosthesis and a morphologically disarranged aortic root. He also presented with left ventricular dysfunction and a very low origin of the left coronary artery. Therefore, a 5th redo aortic valve replacement was considered at high surgical risk. Accordingly, before listing the patient for a heart transplant, a transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation with the JenaValveTM prosthesis was performed.
