Abstract
The patient presents with a genetic condition named Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which predisposes her to multiple neoplasms during her lifespan. Due to the chemotherapeutic treatment of an osteosarcoma, the patient presents with cardiotoxicity secondary to doxorubicin that is refractory to conventional management. The patient is initially stabilized with a peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation device, with no improvement after 14 days of support. Later she was assisted with a HeartMate 3 mechanical circulatory device as a bridge to candidacy or as a destination therapy. She is the first paediatric patient in Spain to be assisted with long-term circulatory support using the HeartMate 3 device.
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 Tutorials published prior to 2012 have been archived and we are working with the authors of these tutorials to update their work pending republication on the new site.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.
