Heart transplantation after short-term mechanical circulatory support

Original language description

Introduction: Short-term ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation is a life-saving procedure in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. The present paper provides our experience with patients we were able to bridge from this critical condition directly to heart transplantation. Method: Our group comprises 11 patients implanted a Levitronix CentriMag short-term ventricular assist device from April 2009 to October 2012 as a bridge to heart transplantation. Six (55%) patients received a biventricular assist device while five (45%) had a left-ventricular assist device implanted. The mean age of patients was 41.2 years (20-63 years). Our group of patients included eight men (73%). The underlying diagnoses included dilated cardiomyopathy (5 patients), coronary heart disease (4 patients), infective endocarditis, and primary graft failure (1 patient each). Prior to implantation, all patients received high doses of inotropes, and eight (73%) patients had mechanical ventilatory support.
