Popis: Minimally invasive approaches for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation have grown in popularity and have many potential advantages including less bleeding, shorter recovery time, and improved postoperative right ventricular function when compared to traditional implantation. Centrifugal flow LVADs are easily implanted via a minimally invasive approach. In this article, the authors review intraoperive considerations for minimally invasive LVAD implantation, as well as hemodynamic management principles for patients with centrifugal flow LVADs.
