Initial experience with routine less invasive implantation of HeartMate II left ventricular assist device without median sternotomy.
Anelechi C. Anyanwu, MD, Shinobu Itagakia, MD, Sean Pinney, MD and David H. Adams, MD
Standard implantation of HeartMate II (HMII) left ventricular assist device requires an extended median sternotomy; this incision, while generally well tolerated, may add morbidity in critically ill debilitated patients. We recently adopted a sternum sparing technique for routine HMII implants using a left subcostal incision to create a pocket and access the left ventricular apex, and a right minithoracotomy to access the ascending aorta.
