Although medical protocols exist to promote reverse remodeling in left ventricular assist device-supported patients, there are scant data about device management in these patients. We report the use of a Jarvik 2000 left ventricular assist device (Jarvik Heart Inc, New York, NY) to facilitate myocardial recovery leading to device explantation using a sequential, patient-controlled approach. Sequential conditioning of the left ventricular assist device-supported heart is a promising strategy for bridging patients to recovery and pump removal.
尽管存在促进左心室辅助装置支持患者逆向重构的医学方案,但关于这些患者的装置管理的数据却很少。我们报告了使用Jarvik 2000左心室辅助装置(Jarvik Heart Inc,纽约,NY),采用循序渐进、患者可控的方法促进心肌恢复,最终实现装置移除。对左心室辅助装置支持的心脏进行循序渐进的调节,是帮助患者恢复并移除泵的一种有前景的策略。
