He has been maintained on an anticoagulation regimen of warfarin and low-dose aspirin without problems for 10 years, during which he has worked continuously and productively. Device flow has been kept at 10,000 rpm. Possible contributors to this long-term success include proper alignment of the device inflow cannula, pericardial patch closure of the left ventricular outflow tract, and, notably, the remarkable freedom from mechanical failure of the continuous-flow left ventricular assist device. Whether the higher flow rate produced by the pericardial patch closure contributes to pump longevity is unknown and merits further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14503\/thij-19-7193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,20]],"date-time":"2021-01-20T23:30:15Z","timestamp":1611185415000},"page":"325-328","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ten-Year Survival With a Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device and Aortic Valve Closure"],"prefix":"10.14503","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"George V.","family":"Letsou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Surgery and Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and Center for Cardiac Support, Texas Heart Institute, The University of Texas School of Public Health; Houston, Texas 77030"},{"name":"Michael E.
