“…Thrombus formation within the device, reported to occur between 2-12% at 24 months, can lead to embolic events or LVAD failure 44 The extended lifespan of new generation LVADs, coupled with their use for destination therapy, has resulted in a large proportion of these patients presenting for elective, non-cardiac surgery. In patients without additional indication for anticoagulation (atrial fibrillation, left ventricular thrombus) cessation of warfarin 5-6 days before surgery and continuation of aspirin has reduced the need for perioperative blood transfusion without an increase in thrombosis 45 . In patients at high risk for thrombosis, anticoagulation bridging with a heparin analogue is indicated.…”

“…Patienten mit einem VAD unterziehen sich in einer steigenden Anzahl von Fällen nichtkardiochirurgischen operativen Eingriffen, 4-42% der VAD-Patienten werden im Verlauf nach der initialen Implantation des VAD mit nichtkardiochirurgischen Operationsindikationen operiert [3,4,5,6,7,8]. Hieraus ergibt sich ein wichtiges und klinisch relevantes Thema für das anästhesiologische Management dieser Patienten.…”

“…Die geringe Mortalität bei nichtkardiochirurgischen operativen Eingriffen verdeutlicht, dass diese Maßnahmen sicher bei VAD-Patienten durchgeführt werden können [4,5,6,8,12,14,21,22].…”
