Abstract
Background
Severe tricuspid regurgitation is a known risk factor for right ventricular failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and is often treated with concomitant tricuspid valve repair (TVR). The right atriotomy needed for exposure of the tricuspid valve may complicate early implantation of a durable right ventricular assist device, which may be needed if RVF persists.
Materials & Methods
A 53-year-old male patient on Impella and extracorporeal life support was scheduled for LVAD implantation with concomitant TVR.
Results
We performed a technique for closure of the right atrium after TVR with a modified ventricular assist device ring to facilitate right ventricular support implantation if needed.
