1 TAVI for Pure Aortic Valve Insufficiency in a Patient With a Left Ventricular Assist Device 
Giuseppe D'Ancona, MD, PhD, Miralem Pasic, MD, PhD, Semih Buz, MD, Thorsten Drews, MD, Stephan Dreysse, MD, Roland Hetzer, MD, PhD, Axel Unbehaun, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 93, Issue 4, Pages e89-e91 (April 2012) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Echocardiogram shows aortic valve insufficiency jet (white arrow heads) and native aortic valve without calcification (white arrow). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , e89-e91DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Cardiac computed tomographic scan demonstrating no calcification in the aortic valve (black asterisk). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , e89-e91DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Preoperative computed tomographic scan showing the chosen direct surgical access (white arrow) to puncture the left ventricular apex in the anterior aspect, avoiding the ventricular assist device (black asterisk).

5 Fig 4 Sequences of transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The valve (black arrow) is released slowly and during simultaneous contrast injection (white arrow). (A) Angiography immediately before starting balloon inflation; (B) initial balloon inflation for valve deployment; (C) almost complete balloon inflation with angiography to verify valve position; (D) complete balloon inflation and valve deployment.

6 Fig 5 Postoperative chest roentgenogram showing stable valve position and anchoring (white arrow). Note the left ventricular assist device in the left ventricular apex (black asterisk) and the outflow cannula of the device in the thoracic descending aorta (black arrow).
