Implantation of left ventricular assist device in a patient with left ventricular non-compaction.
Journal of Cardiac Surgery 2017 Februrary

LV assist devices (LVAD) have been used to bridge these patients to transplantation; however, the extensive trabeculations found in these patients predispose them to thromboembolic events and pump thrombosis. We describe a patient with LVNC in whom an aggressive surgical approach was used to debride the LV cavity of trabeculations to successfully implant an LVAD.
