Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is now a routine therapy for advanced heart failure. Authors demonstrate a novel technique of LVAD implantation through a single left thoracotomy with anastomosis of outflow graft to the arch of aorta. The technique avoids sternotomy or additional right thoracotomy, keeps ascending aorta clear and puts outflow graft away from the sternum. |
