  • Total circulatory support with an LVAD in an adolescent with a previous Fontanprocedure
    Frazier, O.H. ; Gregorič, Igor ; Messner, Gregory N.
    We report the case of a 14-year-old boy who developed ischemic contracture of the heart after open heart surgery to correct complex congenital heart disease. Because he had no cardiac function, an ... extracorporeal, continuous-flow device was used to support him until he was transferred to ourinstitution. Shortly after his arrival, an implantable, long-term left ventricular assist device was implanted. The univentricular pump provided total cardiac support for this critically ill patient. After normalization of end-organ function, the patient underwent successful orthotopic cardiac transplantation.
