Left ventricular assist device outflow graft stenosis is a rare, but a lethal complication. Device replacement or thrombolytic treatments are associated with serious mortality and morbidity. Implantation of covered stents is a less invasive option. Herein, we represent a successful stent placement of two cases with outflow graft stenosis, which we performed by leaving the stents on the aortic side of the anastomosis line 5 to 10 mm. This treatment option can be used reliably in cases of stenosis of the outflow graft with part of the stent leaving the aorta.
左心室辅助装置流出道移植物狭窄是一种罕见但致命的并发症。装置置换或溶栓治疗与严重的死亡率和发病率相关。植入覆膜支架是一种侵入性较小的选择。在此，我们报告了两例流出道移植物狭窄患者成功置入支架的病例，我们通过将支架留在吻合线主动脉侧5至10毫米处进行操作。这种治疗方法可可靠地用于流出道移植物狭窄且部分支架位于主动脉外的病例。
