Zusammenfassung

Durch Fortschritte in der Technik ist es möglich, Langzeitunterstützungssysteme des Herzens miniaturisiert zu entwickeln. Diese kleineren Pumpen können häufig in einer minimalinvasiven Operation ohne Einsatz der Herz-Lungen-Maschine und unter Vermeidung einer medianen Sternotomie implantiert werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die minimalinvasive Operationstechnik, die bei Systemen zur Linksherzunterstützung (Left Ventricular Assist Device, LVAD) angewandt wird, sowie über aktuell vorhandene und ggf. in Zukunft erhältliche, minimalinvasiv-implantierbare LVAD-Systeme.

Abstract

Due to advances in engineering and device technology it is possible to miniaturize long-term cardiac support devices. These smaller pumps can often be implanted in a minimally invasive operation without using a heart-lung machine and avoiding a median sternotomy. This article gives an overview of the minimally invasive operation techniques and the currently and in the future available minimally invasive implantable left ventricular assist devices.
