摘要:
The Berlin Heart EXCOR ventricular assist device provides pulsatile ventricular assistance. It can be used for univentricular or biventricular support. However, pre-, intra-, and postoperative complications (e. g., bleeding, anastomotic insufficiency) are frequent. We present herein a detailed description of our modified implantation technique in order to facilitate further clinical use of the system.
