However, the operative procedure is associated with severe trauma. Third generation LVADs like the HeartWare assist device (HeartWare, Inc., Framingham, MA, USA) are characterized by enhanced technology despite smaller size. These devices offer new minimally invasive surgical options. Tricuspid regurgitation requiring valve repair is frequent in patients with the need for mechanical circulatory support as it is strongly associated with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. We report on HeartWare LVAD implantation and simultaneous tricuspid valve reconstruction through minimally invasive access by partial upper sternotomy to the fifth left intercostal space. Four male patients (mean age 51.72\u2009\u00b1\u200911.95 years) suffering from chronic heart failure due to dilative (three patients) and ischemic (one patient) cardiomyopathy and also exhibiting concomitant tricuspid valve insufficiency due to annular dilation underwent VAD implantation and tricuspid valve annuloplasty. Extracorporeal circulation was established via the ascending aorta, superior vena cava, and right atrium. In all four cases the LVAD implantation and tricuspid valve repair via partial median sternotomy was successful. During the operative procedure, no conversion to full sternotomy was necessary. One patient needed postoperative re\u2010exploration because of pericardial effusion. No postoperative focal neurologic injury was observed. New generation VADs are advantageous because of the possibility of minimally invasive implantation procedure which can therefore minimize surgical trauma. Concomitant tricuspid valve reconstruction can also be performed simultaneously through partial upper sternotomy. Nevertheless, minimally invasive LVAD implantation is a challenging operative technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/aor.12789","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,8]],"date-time":"2016-11-08T12:31:32Z","timestamp":1478608292000},"page":"418-423","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Minimally Invasive Implantation of HeartWare Assist Device and Simultaneous Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction Through Partial Upper Sternotomy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Julia","family":"Hillebrand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Hoffmeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tonny","family":"Djie Tiong Tjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juergen R.","family":"Sindermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Martens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mirela","family":"Scherer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital of the Westfaelische Wilhelms\u2010University Muenster Muenster Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"578","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(20)31430-6","article-title":"Clinical experience with the Novacor ventricular assist system.
