- Abstract
- Left thoracotomy was used as an approach for the implantation of pulsatile ventricular assist devices. Avoiding the standard approach of median sternotomy is attractive in patients undergoing complicated redo cardiac surgery, especially with prior mediastinal radiation. We report a case of the use of left thoracotomy for the implantation of the HeartMate II axial-flow pump. (Ann Thorac Surg 2012; 94:1712-4) (C) 2012 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
