Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube in a Patient with a Left Ventricular Assist Device

Abstract: We report a successful PEG tube insertion in a patient with an LVAD. Adequate prolonged nutritional support was provided. PEG placement in patients with an implantable or paracorporeal LVAD may be possible but present additional concerns. We believe that PEG placement should be cpnsidered in patients with an LVAD with swallowing difficulties or who are debilitated are not meeting their caloric requirements.

“…There are only a few published single case studies that have reported successful placement of percutaneous feeding tubes in patients with a VAD. Slaughter et al 11 reported a case of a 72-year-old male with an extracorporeal LVAD (outside of body cavity) who required a prolonged period (6 months) of enteral nutritional support that was provided through a PEG tube, which was successfully inserted with no reported complications. Simmons et al 12 described a case of a 76-year-old male with an LVAD who underwent a successful placement of a direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) due to inaccessibility for PEG placement because of the LVAD position within the abdomen.…”

“…Darüber hinaus besitzen Patienten nach VAD-Implantation aufgrund der dann notwendigen therapeutischen Antikoagulation ein höheres Risiko für gastrointestinale Blutungen, welche die orale/enterale Ernährung stören (mit konsekutivem Verfehlen des Kalorien-und Proteinziels), oder für Blutungskomplikationen bei der Anlage von enteralen (und parenteralen) Zugangswegen [496,497]. Eine Reihe an Fallberichten zeigt jedoch, dass auch eine endoskopisch-perkutane Platzierung bei entsprechender (strenger) Indikation sicher und durchführbar bei Patienten mit VAD ist [498,499].…”

“…Second phase in the research related to design and development of VADs can be considered to be from the year 1998 when second generation of VADs were tested on humans for rst time 29 . Signi cant work in the design and development of the second generation VADS has been done by various scholars [30][31][32][33][34] . These published works give a thorough summary related to the design and development of various 2 nd generation VADs, like HeartMate II, HeartWare HVAD, and Medtronic HVAD.…”
