Three Ventricular Assist Devices (True <scp>TriVAD</scp> ) as Bridge to Durable Biventricular Support ( <scp>BiVAD</scp> ) in <scp>LVAD</scp> Patient With Severe Aortic Regurgitation
An LVAD patient with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) developed right heart failure and multi-organ dysfunction (MOD). tRVAD support caused LV overload and pulmonary edema. Impella 5.5 implantation successfully unloaded the LV and stabilized the patient, enabling durable RVAD implantation with surgical aortic valve replacement.
