A two-stage explantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was performed on 47 year old afro-american gentlemen with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who was successfully bridged to recovery. After he suffered a stroke caused by a VAD thrombosis with embolisation, the VAD outflow graft was first ligated using minimally-invasive approach. Two months later, the device was explanted and a manufactured titanium plug was placed into the sewing ring. This stepwise procedure might be beneficial in cases of high thromboembolic risk and in patients who suffered a thromboembolic event previously.
对一名47岁患有非缺血性扩张型心肌病（DCM）的非裔美国男性患者进行了两阶段的左心室辅助装置（LVAD）取出手术，该患者成功过渡到康复阶段。在他因VAD血栓形成伴栓塞导致中风后，首先采用微创方法结扎了VAD流出移植物。两个月后，取出装置，并在缝合环处放置了一个定制的钛塞。对于血栓栓塞风险高的病例以及先前发生过血栓栓塞事件的患者，这种分步进行的手术可能是有益的。
