Abstract
Percutaneous transcatheter intervention for aortic regurgitation secondary to implantation of a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device remains challenging, because of the minimal global experience with these procedures. Two treatment options are available: transcatheter aortic valve replacement, which is not always feasible when a dilated aortic annulus is present, and percutaneous aortic valve occlusion. We report a successful percutaneous closure of the aortic valve using an oversized Amplatzer patent foramen ovale multifenestrated device (St Jude Medical, Saint Paul, MN) to treat aortic regurgitation associated with dilated aortic annulus in a patient with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device.
