摘要：

Destination therapy with the Heart Mate II left-ventricular assist device (Thoratec Corp, Pleasanton, CA) was undertaken in an adult patient with Down syndrome and end-stage heart failure. The patient was bridged to the Heart Mate II with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation followed by the Levitronix CentriMag (Levitronix, Waltham, MA). Heart Mate II implantation was complicated by coagulopathy. The patient spent 44 postoperative days in hospital and is currently stable in the community. No infections were acquired. Compliance training was delivered primarily to the patient's family. Destination therapy with the Heart Mate II may be successfully implemented in eligible, socially supported Down syndrome patients.
