A 16-year-old with new-onset dilated cardiomyopathy underwent VAD placement, later complicated by low flow from outflow graft kinking. To expedite heart transplantation, TCV was calculated and compared with 141 normal patients pinpointing the upper weight threshold. He was transplanted 2 days later within the expanded weight range with no post-transplant complications.
一位 16 岁的新发扩张型心肌病患者接受了 VAD 植入,后来因流出道移植物扭曲导致低流量。为了加快心脏移植,计算了 TCV 并与 141 名正常患者进行了比较,确定了上限体重阈值。两天后,他在扩大的体重范围内进行了移植,没有发生移植后并发症。
