Abstract:
Aortic regurgitation was found to develop in a considerable share of patients supported with continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). The resulting circulatory loop renders LVAD operation inefficient so that symptoms of heart failure develop in spite of high LVAD flows. In patients with a high reoperative risk, transcatheter aortic valve implantation may be considered as an alternative to reoperative valve surgical procedures. We report a case of percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation using the SAPIEN S3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) valve for post-LVAD aortic regurgitation.
