Abstract:
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is a common complication after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, leading to poor clinical prognosis. Echocardiography is the main method for evaluating the function of the aortic valve (AV). This article focuses on summarizing the indicators and parameters of echocardiography used in the quantitative evaluation of AR before and after LVAD, combined with the current AR management methods. Based on the existing clinical evidence, the prevention and treatment strategies of AR in the whole-process management of LAVD were summarized.
