A recent study from Columbia University Irving Medical Center examined the fate of prosthetic valves in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). The research found that while prosthetic valve-related mortality or reinterventions are uncommon in LVAD patients, aortic bioprosthetic valve dysfunction can develop less than a year after LVAD implantation. The study highlights the importance of monitoring and managing prosthetic valves in LVAD recipients to ensure optimal outcomes.
