Abstract
Heart transplant remains the gold standard treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure. However, given the limited availability of donor hearts, alternative approaches and strategies are required. The development of a variety of mechanical circulation support options, including left ventricular assist devices and total artificial heart, have allowed improved quality of life and eventually have facilitated a bridge to heart transplantation strategies for certain patients. However, the presence of an intracorporeal left ventricular assist device poses a technical challenge at the time of heart transplantation. In this video tutorial, we describe the surgical strategy and removal technique for a patient who had received a HeartMate 3 (Abbott, North Chicago, IL, USA) using a classic implantation technique via sternotomy, who underwent concomitant orthotopic heart transplant.
期刊介绍：
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (MMCTS) is produced by The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). MMCTS is the world’s premier video-based educational resource for cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons; freely accessible - and essential - for all. MMCTS was launched more than ten years ago under the leadership of founding editor Professor Marko Turina. It was Professor Turina’s vision that the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), already the world-leader in CT surgery education, should take advantage of the Internet’s rapidly improving video publication capabilities and create a new step-by-step manual of surgical procedures. Professor Turina and EACTS agreed that the manual, MMCTS, should be freely accessible to all users, regardless of association membership status, nationality, or affiliation. MMCTS was self-published by EACTS for some years before being transferred to Oxford University Press, which hosted it until the end of 2016. In November 2016, the Manual returned home to EACTS and it has now relaunched in a completely new format. Since its birth in 2005, MMCTS has published some 400 detailed, video-based demonstrations of cardio-thoracic surgical procedures. Tutorials published prior to 2012 have been archived and we are working with the authors of these tutorials to update their work pending republication on the new site. Our mission is to make MMCTS the best online reference for cardio-thoracic surgeons – residents and experienced surgeons alike. Our aim is to include tutorials presenting procedures at both a fundamental and an advanced level. Truly innovative procedures are also included and are identified as such.
