Abstract

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) treatment may lead to reverse remodeling in heart failure patients. Selected patients can recover heart function and be eligible for LVAD explantation. Surgical methods for explanting an LVAD have been reported using various surgical accesses and different degrees of retained device material. We report a surgical technique for achieving a complete pump removal, with an emphasis on the technical details of inflow and outflow pump cannula management.
