HeartMate 3 is a left ventricular assist device, composed of a centrifugal pump. It can be applied as a myocardial recovery, a bridge to transplant, or a destination therapy, in the treatment of patients with left ventricular heart failure.
Herein we describe a technique applied against a giant aneurysmal dilatation, which combines a surgical device implantation and a left ventricular reconstruction using a double patch.
The patch minimizes thrombotic risk thanks to its internal bovine pericardium layer, which is in contact with blood.
The outlined technique is relatively reproducible and safe in a selected group of patients, as it employs a high-quality device and enables the restoration of an appropriate ventricular geometry.
HeartMate 3 是一种左心室辅助装置，由离心泵组成。它可以作为心肌恢复、移植桥接或终末期心力衰竭的治疗手段。
本文介绍了一种针对巨大动脉瘤样扩张的技术，该技术结合了外科设备植入和使用双补丁的左心室重建。
补丁的内层为牛心包，与血液接触，可最大程度降低血栓形成的风险。
在选定的患者群体中，该技术相对可重复且安全，因为它使用了高质量的设备，并能够恢复适当的心室几何形状。
