A sterile, delayed-closure technique for placement of a left ventricular assist device

IL Kron, W Glover and CG Tribble

A simplified technique of left ventricular assist device placement using Silastic sheeting attached to the presternal fascia and skin is described. This technique allows viewing of cardiac action and prevents cardiac compression by sternal closure. Removal of the assist device is simple because the sternum does not have to be reopened.
