Abstract:
Implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is an established treatment for advanced heart failure. LVADs are usually implanted using intra-operative anticoagulation with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. We describe an anticoagulant-free off-pump LVAD implant technique to circumvent potential complications associated with conventional approaches. This technique is safe and is probably the least invasive surgical approach for LVAD implantation.
