Aortic valve disorders and left ventricular assist devices

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Aortic valve disorders are important considerations in advanced heart failure patients being evaluated for left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) and those on LVAD support. Aortic insufficiency (AI) can be present prior to LVAD implantation or develop de
