Myocardial recovery in patients with left ventricular assist devices is a rare event. Surgical explantation remains a risky and challenging procedure. Alternative percutaneous techniques could represent an effective solution. This report describes the clinical use of a Watchman closure device (Boston Scientific Corp, Marlborough, MA) in deactivation of a HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL).
左心室辅助装置患者的心肌恢复是一种罕见事件。外科摘出仍然是一种风险大且具有挑战性的操作。替代的经皮技术可能是一种有效的解决方案。本报告描述了使用 Watchman 封堵装置（波士顿科学公司，马萨诸塞州马尔伯勒）使 HeartMate 3 左心室辅助装置（雅培实验室，伊利诺伊州雅培公园）失活的临床应用。
