We report our experience with the paracorporal\n B<\/jats:styled-content>\n erlin\n H<\/jats:styled-content>\n eart\n EXCOR<\/jats:styled-content>\n System (\n B<\/jats:styled-content>\n erlin\n H<\/jats:styled-content>\n eart\n AG<\/jats:styled-content>\n ,\n B<\/jats:styled-content>\n erlin,\n G<\/jats:styled-content>\n ermany) used as a biventricuclar assist device (\n BVAD<\/jats:styled-content>\n ). Nine patients with a\n BVAD EXCOR<\/jats:styled-content>\n system were treated between 2006 and 2012; out of these patients, four were less than 18 years old (6, 14, 14, and 17 years old). Their diagnoses were postcardotomy failure (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20091), dilatative cardiomyopathy (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20092), and terminal heart failure (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20091). Overall survival, waiting time for heart transplantation (\n HTx<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) and complication profile for the\n BVAD<\/jats:styled-content>\n were analyzed retrospectively. Thirty days' mortality was 25% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20091). One child died after 84 days on support due to cerebral bleeding. Mean support time was 218.75 days (4, 84, 262, and 525 days). Pump chamber exchange was necessary three times due to pump chamber thrombosis (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20092) and partial pump chamber membrane rupture (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20091). Complications included: sepsis (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20091), drive line infection requiring intravenous antibiotics (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20092), and recurrent epistaxis (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20093). Two children were successfully transplanted after 262\/525 days on\n BVAD<\/jats:styled-content>\n ; they are currently at home (follow\u2010up: 1.9 and 2.3 years). The\n EXCOR<\/jats:styled-content>\n is a life\u2010saving\n MCS<\/jats:styled-content>\n system suitable for long\u2010term paracorporeal biventricular assistance.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/aor.12062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,5]],"date-time":"2013-03-05T21:34:43Z","timestamp":1362519283000},"page":"730-735","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Complication Profile of the\n B<\/scp>\n erlin\n H<\/scp>\n eart\n EXCOR<\/scp>\n Biventricular Support in Children"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Martin","family":"Schweiger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Congenital Cardiovascular Surgery Children's Hospital Zurich Zurich Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Schrempf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Sereinigg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fcnther","family":"Prenner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karlheinz H.","family":"Tscheliessnigg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andre","family":"Wasler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacub","family":"Krumnikel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Gamillschegg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Igor","family":"Knez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Medical University of Graz Graz Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.815712"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00059-011-3509-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2010.08.033"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/1010-7940(91)90045-L"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1014164"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2011.12.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12265-011-9268-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.MAT.0000398944.12757.eb"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcts.2010.08.031"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mat.0000178214.95010.c0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1053-2498(00)00236-9"}],"container-title":["Artificial Organs"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Faor.12062","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/aor.12062","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]],"date-time":"2023-10-03T13:15:40Z","timestamp":1696338940000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/aor.12062"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,5]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/aor.12062"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/aor.12062","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0160-564X","1525-1594"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0160-564X","type":"print"},{"value":"1525-1594","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,5]]}}}
