The wearable Novacor left ventricularassist system (LVAS) may offer advantages over console- based systems byimproving rehabilitation before transplantation. For these advantages to berealised, however, a smooth perioperative course is necessary. We describeour operative technique, based on minimising blood loss and preservingright ventricular function, and the results in the first three patients tohave the wearable Novacor LVAS implanted in this institution. © Springer-Verlag 1995 European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Elsevier Science B.V. 9/2(1995-02), 95-98 1010-7940 9:2<95 1995 9 ejcts https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-7940(05)80026-0 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-7940(05)80026-0 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Elsevier Science B.V 9/2(1995-02), 95-98 1010-7940 9:2<95 1995 9 ejcts Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
