Résumé

Mechanical cardiac support is currently an effective strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. However, solid evidence regarding the feasibility of intracorporeal devices in children still needs to be provided. We report our 10-year experience with intracorporeal left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) in children. We included all patients undergoing intracorporeal, continuous-flow LVAD implantation between 2012 and 2022. Baseline and postoperative data were collected from the institutional database. Seven HeartWare and 4 HeartMate3 were implanted in 11 patients (median age 13.9 years, median body surface area - BSA - 1.42 m Intracorporeal LVAD implantation proved to be a potentially feasible and safe option in young teenagers and children whose BSA was >1.0 m

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Mechanical cardiac support is currently an effective strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. However, solid evidence regarding the feasibility of intracorporeal devices in children still needs to be provided. We report our 10-year experience with intracorporeal left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
We included all patients undergoing intracorporeal, continuous-flow LVAD implantation between 2012 and 2022. Baseline and postoperative data were collected from the institutional database.
RESULTS RESULTS
Seven HeartWare and 4 HeartMate3 were implanted in 11 patients (median age 13.9 years, median body surface area - BSA - 1.42 m
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Intracorporeal LVAD implantation proved to be a potentially feasible and safe option in young teenagers and children whose BSA was >1.0 m
