    <abstract locale="en_US">Few cases of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) following infective endocarditis (IE) have been reported. In this presentation, we discuss the feasibility of TAVI in a degenerated bioprosthetic valve affected by IE.
We examine a rare case involving an elderly man with a degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valve complicated by IE 6 months after a COVID-19 infection. The patient was successfully treated with valve-in-valve intervention following antibiotic therapy for the acute phase of the infection. This resulted in excellent outcomes with no complications in the early postprocedural period and during follow-up visits.
For patients with a destructed bioprosthetic aortic valve due to IE and residual dysfunction after healing, valve-in-valve intervention can be a safe and effective treatment option, particularly for those at high risk for surgery.</abstract>
