TandemHeart, an adult ventricular assist device, is also being used in children for mechanical circulatory support. In this case series, we describe our experience using TandemHeart ventricular assist device with a modified circuit to provide mechanical circulatory support in three neonates for multiple indications. TandemHeart ventricular assist device with a modified circuit can be used successfully to provide extracorporeal support to neonates with complex CHD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
