From 6/86 to 5/89 seven out of 1700 (0.4%) open heart patients had to be assisted with centrifugal pumps for postcardiotomy low cardiac output syndrome. In 4 cases a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was used, one case each had a right ventricular assist device (RVAD), an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and a biventricular assist device (BVAD) with ECMO and ultrafiltration. The last 3 patients were assisted non-pulsatile without intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) and no impairment of vital organ function was observed. Four out of 7 patients could be weaned from the assist device after a mean of 30 hours (0.5-48). Three patients became long-term survivors with 2 assisted non-pulsatile. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was used to determine the timing for wean off and was found to be an important adjunct to the monitoring of filling--and systemic pressure.
