Ventricular Assist Device and Ductal Stent as Bridge to Heart Transplant for Pulmonary Atresia-Intact Ventricular Septum
Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) and myocardial dysfunction is a challenging entity to manage. Presented is a patient with PA-IVS who developed myocardial dysfunction and heart failure following an episode of periprocedural hypotension. He was successfully treated with a single ventricle assist device (SVAD) placed without cardiopulmonary bypass and a ductal stent as a bridge to donation after circulatory death heart transplant. This report describes the technique of SVAD placement without cardiopulmonary bypass.
