Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a 13-year-old child with end-stage heart failure: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) has been reported in association with almost all types of congenital heart valve disease. The presence of LVNC-related ventricular dysfunction increases the perioperative risk in these patients. The advantages of transcatheter treatment modalities outweigh those of surgical strategies, as they avoid cardioplegic arrest and myocardial trauma. To our knowledge, there have been no reports on transcatheter treatment of pure aortic regurgitation in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and concomitant LVNC.

Case summary

In this article, we present the case of a 13-year-old boy with a regurgitant BAV and concomitant LVNC who presented with end-stage heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension. As a bridge t
