Abstract

IntroductionVentricular assist devices (VADs) are used in children usually as a bridge to transplantation and occasionally also as a bridge to recovery, e.g., for acute myocarditis. However, in cases of recovery, weaning criteria are not well defined and protocols are scarce.Case reportWe report our first experience with weaning of biventricular assist device (EXCOR® Pediatric, Berlin Heart GmbH, Germany) in a 3-year-old boy due to recovery.DiscussionThe weaning and explantation processes were based on clinical experience, local hospital practices, and collaboration with the Berlin Heart team.ConclusionRegular echocardiographic assessments, weaning attempts, and downsizing of the EXCOR pumps may facilitate device weaning.

exor双心室辅助装置在儿童康复后成功脱机。

心室辅助装置（vad）通常用于儿童，作为移植的桥梁，偶尔也作为恢复的桥梁，例如急性心肌炎。然而，在恢复的情况下，断奶标准没有很好的定义，也缺乏方案。病例报告：我们报告了一例3岁男孩因康复而断奶双心室辅助装置（EXCOR®Pediatric, Berlin Heart GmbH, Germany）的首例经验。脱机和移植过程基于临床经验、当地医院实践以及与柏林心脏团队的合作。结论定期超声心动图评估、尝试脱机和缩小exor泵可促进设备脱机。
