Mechanical circulatory support for high-risk surgical aortic valve and ascending aortic replacement in severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis: a case series
These cases demonstrate the utility of planned VA-ECMO with SAVR and aortic root replacement as an integral component of the operative strategy for high surgical risk patients with severe BAV AS not amenable to TAVI. Appropriate pre-operative planning and consent for VA-ECMO as well as a multi-disciplinary approach involving anaesthesia, intensive care, and heart failure cardiology are the key to offering this option as an alternative to palliative medical therapy to a selected group of patients.
