Transfemoral aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of pure native aortic insufficiency is not routine clinical practice. Absent cusp calcification, missing landmarks in combination with no perfect valve control during release with first‐generation TAVI devices resulted in a high rate for need of a second valve or relevant residual aortic insufficiency. We report the first case with a native pure aortic valve insufficiency at high surgical risk successfully treated by implantation of the repositionable and completely retrievable Lotus valve, resulting in a well‐controlled and safe procedure with no residual aortic insufficiency. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
