Abstract

We report two cases of transient intraoperative mydriasis in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients with no profound underlining neurological pathology. Both cases concern females on LVAD for more than 30 months, due to dilated cardiomyopathy, as a bridge to transplant. A possible pathophysiology mechanism is suggested. As LVAD patients' life expectancy increases, more and more physiological alterations due to laminar flow will be revealed and must be taken into consideration for the better care of this patient group.

左心室辅助装置患者术中睑下垂。眼睛从不说谎吗?

我们报告了两例左心室辅助装置(LVAD)患者术中短暂性瞳孔肿大，没有深刻的神经病理学。由于扩张性心肌病，这两个病例都涉及女性LVAD超过30个月，作为移植的桥梁。提出了一种可能的病理生理机制。随着LVAD患者预期寿命的增加，层流引起的生理改变将越来越多地被揭示出来，必须加以考虑，以便更好地护理这一患者群体。
