We report a case of a woman who underwent mitral ring and tricuspid annuloplasty. Two months later, she presented with acute heart failure secondary to severe aortic regurgitation, which was a complication of the cardiac surgery. Given the high surgical risk of reoperation in this the patient, she underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation, with a good result. Aortic regurgitation is a rare and severe complication after valve repair surgery. Our case showed that off-label transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a high-risk patient after iatrogenic aortic regurgitation is safe and feasible.

Subvalvular aortic stenosis typically manifests at a young age and rarely presents in adulthood. It may cause left ventricular outflow tract stenosis, which requires surgical treatment in severe cases. The coexistence of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis and quadricuspid aortic valve is a highly unusual finding.

This report presents the case of a 66-year-old man with acute torrential aortic insufficiency after a Ross procedure 20 years earlier, a biologic aortic valve replacement 16 years earlier, and a transcatheter valve-in-valve 4 years earlier. He underwent third-time sternotomy, revealing that the pulmonary autograft was heavily calcified and frozen to the homograft. The previous transcatheter valve-in-valve was explanted.

Moderate or severe aortic insufficiency is a contraindication to transvalvular Impella left ventricular assist device (Abiomed) use out of concern for worsening valvular insufficiency and recirculation. This report describes the case of a 75-year-old man with severe eccentric aortic insufficiency and systemic hypoperfusion who was supported with a transvalvular Impella 5.5 device for 6 days as preoperative rehabilitation before aortic valve replacement.

Background: Continuous retrograde flow across the aortic valve from left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy can result in cusp damage and progressive aortic regurgitation, potentially triggering recurrent heart and multiorgan failure. The management of aortic regurgitation after LVAD implantation has not been well defined.
Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the investigators' experience with the management of de novo aortic regurgitation requiring intervention in patients with continuous-flow LVAD.
