Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement as a Bridge to Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Abstract:
We describe a case of the pre-emptive use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy and native aortic stenosis/aortic insufficiency as a bridge to left ventricular assist device implantation. The use of this strategy can not only medically optimize patients before left ventricular assist device implantation but also provide a minimally invasive bridge to left ventricular assist device support, avoiding concomitant surgical aortic valve replacement or closure.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
