Percutaneous transcatheter balloon dilatation and stenting to the inflow cannula stenosis of a left ventricular assist device

Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) improve survival in patients with advanced heart failure but are prone to various complications causing mechanical failure. Inflow cannula stenosis presents a particular challenge often requiring invasive surgical repair. We present a novel transcatheter approa...

Zusammenfassung:	Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) improve survival in patients with advanced heart failure but are prone to various complications causing mechanical failure. Inflow cannula stenosis presents a particular challenge often requiring invasive surgical repair. We present a novel transcatheter approach for stent delivery to successfully restore hemodynamic function in a patient with inflow cannula stenosis of a HeartMate II LVAD. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
