چکیده

A 50-year-old male with end-stage cardiomyopathy had been on the transplant waiting list as UNOS status 1b and was recently admitted to hospital with decompensated heart failure (Video 1). His recent transthoracic echocardiogram showed dilated left ventricle with severe dysfunction, severe mitral valve regurgitation and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. He was in INTERMACS class II and was referred for mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to transplant.

Successful continuous-flow left ventricular assist device implantation with adjuvant tricuspid valve repair for advanced heart failure

The prevalence of end-stage heart failure (HF) is on the increase, however, the availability of donor hearts remains limited. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly being used for treating patients with end-stage HF. LVADs are not only used as a bridge to transplantation but also as a destination therapy. HeartMate II, a new-generation, continuous-flow LVAD (cf-LVAD), is curre...
