Successful heart transplantation after 4 years of bridging with HeartWare HVAD for left ventricular noncompaction in an 11-year-old boy with prohibitively high pulmonary vascular resistance

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
End-stage heart failure due to left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) poses unique challenges for ventricular assist device implantation, like inflow cannula obstruction due to trabeculations. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy with LVNC who underwent

PERKAT RV: first in vivo data of a novel right heart assist device [PDF]

EuroIntervention, 2018
Mechanical right ventricular (RV) support offers a treatment option for critically ill patients with RV failure (RVF). We developed an assist device for rapid percutaneous implantation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the implantation procedure, haemodynamic performance and possible side effects of the novel right ventricular assist ...

Recurrent Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Patient With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Leading to Cardiogenic Shock Requiring VA-ECMO

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Providing hemodynamic support for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock can be challenging because inotropic medications worsen intraventricular obstruction, and the effect of appropriate mechanical support remains undefined. We
