Résumé
Minimally invasive left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation may reduce peri-/postoperative complications and risks associated with resternotomies. In this study, we describe our first results using a minimally invasive LVAD implantation technique (lateral thoracotomy [LT] group). These results were compared with LVAD implantations done via full median sternotomy (STX group). HVAD (HeartWare, Framingham, Massachusetts, United States) implantations in 70 patients (LT group No survival differences were observed between the LT and STX group ( The minimally invasive approach is a viable alternative with the possibility to reduce complications and should be particularly considered for bridge-to-transplant patients.

BACKGROUND
Minimally invasive left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation may reduce peri-/postoperative complications and risks associated with resternotomies. In this study, we describe our first results using a minimally invasive LVAD implantation technique (lateral thoracotomy [LT] group). These results were compared with LVAD implantations done via full median sternotomy (STX group).
METHODS
HVAD (HeartWare, Framingham, Massachusetts, United States) implantations in 70 patients (LT group
RESULTS
No survival differences were observed between the LT and STX group (
CONCLUSION
The minimally invasive approach is a viable alternative with the possibility to reduce complications and should be particularly considered for bridge-to-transplant patients.
