Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is now a routine therapy for advanced heart failure. Authors demonstrate a novel technique of LVAD implantation through a single left thoracotomy with anastomosis of outflow graft to the arch of aorta. The technique avoids sternotomy or additional right thoracotomy, keeps ascending aorta clear and puts outflow graft away from the sternum.
左心室辅助装置(LVAD)现已成为晚期心力衰竭的常规治疗方法。作者展示了一种通过单一左胸切口将流出道移植物与主动脉弓吻合来植入LVAD的新技术。该技术避免了开胸或额外的右胸切口,保持升主动脉清晰,并使流出道移植物远离胸骨。
