Levitronix CentriMag is a third generation bearingless temporary rotary pump designed for short-term mechanical support. The device, combined with Berlin Heart cannulas, was implanted in 30 patients suffering from acute cardiogenic shock with biventricular failure. Fifteen patients were successfully bridged to long-term Excor support due to lack of myocardial recovery. The approach produces good results, avoiding the risks of repeated sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass and reducing the costs involved.
Levitronix CentriMag是一款第三代无轴承临时旋转泵，专为短期机械支持而设计。该设备与柏林心脏插管相结合，被植入30例患有急性心源性休克并伴有双心室衰竭的患者体内。由于心肌未能恢复，15例患者成功过渡到长期的Excor支持。这种方法取得了良好的效果，避免了再次开胸和体外循环的风险，并降低了相关成本。
