We present the case of a 72-year-old woman who was transferred to our institution in cardiogenic shock and with multiple-organ failure, due to critical aortic stenosis. She was considered too high-risk to undergo aortic valve replacement. A TandemHeart percutaneous ventricular assist device was used to stabilize the patient's condition before surgery, and she subsequently underwent successful aortic valve replacement. To our knowledge, this is the 1st report in the literature of this particular application of the TandemHeart device.
我们报告了一例72岁女性患者,因严重主动脉瓣狭窄,在发生心源性休克并伴有多器官功能衰竭的情况下被转至我院。她被认为进行主动脉瓣置换术的风险过高。在手术前,使用了TandemHeart经皮心室辅助装置来稳定患者病情,随后她成功接受了主动脉瓣置换术。据我们所知,这是该TandemHeart装置这一特殊应用在文献中的首次报道。
