The short-term mortality of patients with severe aortic stenosis is high, which presents a great challenge to clinical treatment. With the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), emergent TAVR brings hope for the treatment of these patients. We present here a case of emergent TAVR procedure. The patient was an elderly male who had previously undergone surgical mitral valve replacement. After fully assessing the risk/benefit of TAVR procedure, emergent TAVR was performed for the patient. The patient was in good condition at two-month follow-up. Emergent TAVR is a good option for critical high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.
