Aortic valve regurgitation in patients undergoing LVAD implantation is a significant complication which occurs in up to 10% of patients in the INTERMACS database. Patients who have aortic valve regurgitation at the time of implant have been handled by several methods, including aortic valve leaflets approximation, to aortic valve replacement or even valve closure. We report a case where we used HAART Ring to repair a regurgitant aortic valve during LAVD implant for destination therapy.

AbstractPatients with aortic incompetence frequently present with anatomical and pathological challenges such as elliptical dilated annulus, dilated aortic root, dilated ascending aorta, and with no calcification in the aortic cusps or annulus. Patients are commonly in graver clinical condition as a result of a long silent clinical course before overt congestive heart failure. All of the above make transcatheter therapies for native aortic valve regurgitation more challenging with poorer outcomes, escalating the risk of insufficient anchoring, prosthesis migration, and residual paravalvular leak compared with current transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. There is a need for specialized TAVR devices to address this complex pathology. Surgical aortic valve replacement is the current treatment option and the gold standard for patients with aortic incompetence (AR). Currently, the specific off-label indication for TAVR in pure native AR could be a feasible and reasonable option, as a compassionate treatment is limited to inoperable patients and agreed on by the heart team.
