No
Direct transaortic transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation during LVAD implantation offers a feasible alternative to complete aortic root replacement in patients with prior mechanical prostheses, reducing ischemia time and reoperation risks.

Should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for transcatheter ViV during LVAD implantation in mechanical aortic valve patients.
Pya et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Decompensated end-stage heart failure with preexisting mechanical aortic valve (n=1). LVAD implantation combined with direct transaortic transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation was evaluated on Successful hospital discharge. Direct transaortic transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation into a mechanical aortic valve prosthesis during LVAD implantation was successfully performed, allowing hospital discharge at 45 days.
