We report the case of a 22-year-old woman suffering from peripartum cardiomyopathy who was successfully bridged to cardiac transplantation with a Novacor left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Her course with the device is presented and emphasis is put on the size mismatch between the patient and the device, a fact with normally precludes the implantation of the Novacor LVAD.
我们报告了一例患有围产期心肌病的22岁女性病例,该患者通过使用诺瓦科尔左心室辅助装置(LVAD)成功过渡到心脏移植。文中介绍了她使用该装置的过程,并着重强调了患者与装置之间的尺寸不匹配问题,这一情况通常会妨碍诺瓦科尔LVAD的植入。
