Treatment Challenges in Patients with Acute Heart Failure and Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The goal of this paper is to describe the treatment challenges in patients with aortic stenosis in combination with a reduced left ventricular function.

RECENT FINDINGS: Since the risk of mortality is increased in this patient population, transcatheter aortic valve implantation emerged as an important treatment option. Concomitant factors such as mitral regurgitation or coronary artery disease are important co-factors that need to be evaluated and taken into account for treatment decision. Treatment of the severe aortic stenosis is key in this complex setting. Since several co-factors may exist in addition to aortic stenosis, treatment needs to be decided by a Heart Team.
