Abstract We report the largest pediatric multicenter experience with Impella pump use and peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support. Utilizing the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) collaborative […]
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have been increasingly implanted in pediatric patients. Paracorporeal VADs are generally chosen when intracorporeal continuous (IC) devices are too large. Superiority between IC and paracorporeal pulsatile (PP) devices remains unclear in smaller pediatric patients. Our study analyzes outcomes of IC and PP VADs in pediatric patients who could be considered for either of these options.
Ventricular assist device (VAD) use for failed stage II palliation (S2P) is increasing with limited data on outcomes.
The HeartWare ventricular assist device (HVAD) was discontinued in July 2021. The study aims to describe the impact the discontinuation the HVAD had on pediatric ventricular assist device (VAD) utilization and outcomes.
