Abstract
Implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device in a narrow lumen is technically challenging to secure an optimal support. We experienced a patient with the transposition of the great arteries after the Senning procedure who was initially implanted with Jarvik 2000®. She presented with worsening heart failure symptoms 2 years after implanting Jarvik 2000®. We assumed that the inflow cannula was stuck in the highly developed trabeculae on the interventricular septum, which disturbed the VAD to maintain an expected support. After converting to the EVAHEART® 2, we successfully obtained an adequate inflow. We consider that the tipless cannula of EVAHEART® 2 is the most suitable when there is no sufficient room to place a conventional inflow cannula in the systemic ventricle.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the Journal of Artificial Organs is to introduce to colleagues worldwide a broad spectrum of important new achievements in the field of artificial organs, ranging from fundamental research to clinical applications. The scope of the Journal of Artificial Organs encompasses but is not restricted to blood purification, cardiovascular intervention, biomaterials, and artificial metabolic organs. Additionally, the journal will cover technical and industrial innovations. Membership in the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs is not a prerequisite for submission.
