The International Hospital of Colombia has been a pioneer and the single center with the capability in the country for providing ventricular assist device (VAD) support using the CentriMag\/PediMag\u2010Levitronix paracorporeal VAD for pediatric patients awaiting transplant, with over a decade of experience albeit with many challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study examines outcomes from 26 pediatric patients who received VAD support between 2012 and 2023.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Most patients were diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200920, 77%), had an average age of 8.5\u2009years (SD 5.3), and ranged in weight from 5 to 59\u2009kg.
