Misloading during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rare but can cause unpredictable valve release if unrecognized. We describe how to identify a misloaded ACURATE neo2 device, and 3 methods to solve this by using a modified technique of valve deployment, ipsilateral extraction, and contralateral valve externalization with extracorporeal valve release.
