Owing to the actual increase of mechanical circulatory support durations, total or partial replacement of ventricular assist devices (VADs) will most certainly have to be performed with increasing frequency. Herein we report the case of a patient in whom an INCOR (Berlin Heart AG, Berlin) implantable axial-flow pump was replaced without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), underscoring some of the unique features provided by this system.
由于机械循环支持时间的实际增加，心室辅助装置（VAD）的全部或部分更换肯定将不得不越来越频繁地进行。在此，我们报告一例患者，其植入的INCOR（柏林心脏股份公司，柏林）轴流泵在未使用体外循环（CPB）的情况下进行了更换，突显了该系统所具备的一些独特特征。
