Unexpected suicide left ventricle post-surgical aortic valve replacement requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support despite gold-standard therapy: a case report.

Compared to the TAVR population, suicide ventricle post-SAVR is comparatively rare. Patients who exhibit persistent impaired cardiac output postoperatively should be investigated rapidly with echocardiography. Furthermore, resolution of a LVOT obstruction state from procedural intervention may not immediately follow with improved cardiac output, and may require further supportive management.
