A 70-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, using a HeartWare device, as bridge to candidacy. After 26 months, computed tomography (CT) angiography indicated stenosis in the LVAD outflow graft; however, patient was asymptomatic, prompting decision manage his condition close monitoring. Ten months later, presented dizziness and low-flow alerts. Subsequent CT revealed critical obstruction involving entire graft. The emergency...
Infection is one of the most frequent complications in management ECMO patients. Although there are several studies demonstrating role patients with pre-existing sepsis, only a few relatively small size on new-onset blood stream infection (BSI) during ECMO.

A child being supported with an extracorporeal ventricular assist device, such as the Berlin Heart EXCOR (Berlin GmbH, Berlin, Germany), must have at least 2 large cannulae for a long period. Management of cannula wounds is crucial since forms track prosthetic material passing mediastinum to heart. Deep wound complications, if they occur, can be troublesome and difficult control conventional methods. We applied vacuum-assisted closure patient who had Berlin-Heart gap cannulation site....
