Abstract Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is an effective alternative treatment to heart transplantation, especially for end‐stage heart failure patients who are ineligible for or unable to await a heart transplant. This report describes a complex and innovative surgery where LVAD implantation was performed alongside multiple concomitant cardiac and aortic procedures. A 62‐year‐old male patient with complicated comorbidities developed acute myocardial infarction and subsequent refractory advanced heart failure. Given his critically ill condition and intractable anatomical malformations, the CH‐VAD left ventricular assist system implantation was performed concomitantly with the Bentall procedure, coronary artery bypass grafting, tricuspid valvuloplasty, and foramen ovale closure. The patient was successfully discharged. This case details the medical decision‐making process and surgical strategy and demonstrates the feasibility of LVAD implantation combined with multiple additional cardiac and aortic procedures in expert cardiac centres. Success relies on experienced cardiac surgeons and a multidisciplinary LVAD Heart Team, ensuring excellence in surgical techniques, preoperative evaluation, post‐operative care, and rehabilitation. |
