We describe the case of a 39-year-old woman who received a self-made total artificial heart built of components from the Thoratec and ExCor Berlin Heart systems. The patient had a severe aortic/myocardial infection following replacement of the ascending aorta with a Shelhigh conduit due to type A aortic dissection. The surgical technique is described in detail in this article. This technique is feasible if a total artificial heart is not available and implantation of a biventricular assist device is not possible.
我们描述了一名39岁女性的病例，她接受了一个用Thoratec和ExCor柏林心脏系统的组件自制的全人工心脏。该患者因A型主动脉夹层用Shelhigh导管置换升主动脉后发生严重的主动脉/心肌感染。本文详细描述了手术技术。如果没有全人工心脏且无法植入双心室辅助装置，该技术是可行的。
