Abstract

Heart transplantation remains the gold standard for patients with end-stage heart failure. Due to the lack of donor organs the increasing use of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) has gained a paramount role in heart failure surgery. The conventional technique of LVAD implantation involves median sternotomy and connection to a heart-lung machine. More recent approaches show the progressive development of alternative and less invasive implantation techniques, not least because of the radical downsizing of the pump housing of current generation LVAD systems. As a result of the intrapericardial position of LVADs numerous minimally invasive strategies have already been developed. Moreover, the off-pump implantation technique is increasingly being used in some centers. In this study we present the new developments in the field of minimally invasive LVAD surgery and give an insight into the practical approach. Particular attention is given to appropriate patient selection and critical discussion on the possible advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
