Reports of early and catastrophic acute structural valve deterioration (SVD) in Trifecta valves (Abbott, St Paul, MN, USA) with multiple leaflet detachment are rare. We encountered two cases of early SVD in Trifecta valves with tears on two leaflets. Both cases presented with acute heart failure because of aortic insufficiency and underwent redo aortic valve replacement; one patient died due to multiple organ failure caused by cardiogenic shock. Durability issues with valves necessitate long-term vigilance in aortic valve replacement patients.
