Valve in Valve Trans-Catheter Aortic Valve Replacement Followed by LVAD Deactivation in the Setting of Recovered Systolic Function

摘要

Advanced heart failure has extremely high mortality without advanced therapies (left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation or cardiac transplant). LVAD patients with bioprosthetic aortic valve are more prone to leaflet fusion resulting in valvular stenosis and regurgitation.
