Key result
Transfemoral valve-in-valve procedure successfully bridges patients to long-term LVAD implantation.
Why the study?
The use of long-term LVADs is increasing, and techniques to facilitate their implantation, such as valve in valve via femoral approach, require description.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
A case report describing a femoral 'valve in valve' approach to facilitate subsequent long-term LVAD implantation.
Long-term left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) may be indicated as a bridge to heart transplantation, as a bridge to candidacy or as a destination therapy, and their use in our environment is continuously growing. The
