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.
