Left Ventricular Assist Device With a Left Atrial Inflow Cannula for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Patients with restrictive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are often ineligible for a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) due to the risk of suction events with a small left ventricular cavity size and left ventricular inflow cannula. We describe an alternative LVAD configuration using a left atrial inflow cannula as a bridge to transplantation in an adult with HCM. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
