Thoratec recalled their HeartMate II ventricular assist device in March 2012 after some problems related to disconnection of the bend relief. Abrasion on the pump outflow graft caused by a disconnected bend relief is rare. We report the case of a 49-year-old man in whom a disconnected bend relief caused a puncture in the outflow graft, resulting in a contained hematoma, requiring outflow graft replacement.
2012年3月，Thoratec公司召回了他们的HeartMate II型心室辅助装置，此前出现了一些与弯角减压装置断开相关的问题。弯角减压装置断开导致泵流出道移植物磨损的情况很少见。我们报告了一例49岁男性患者的病例，其弯角减压装置断开导致流出道移植物出现穿孔，形成了一个局限性血肿，需要更换流出道移植物。
