Safety and Feasibility of Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery in Patients With Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices

Abstract: Objectives Increasing number of mechanical circulatory assist devices (MCADs) are being placed in heart failure patients. Morbidity from device placement is high and the outcome of patients who require noncardiac surgery after, is unclear. As laparoscopic interventions are associated with decreased morbidity, we examined the impact of such procedures in these patients. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 302 patients who underwent MCAD placement from 2005 to 2012. All laparoscopic abdominal surgeri… Show more

“…However, previous reports suggest that a pneumoperitoneum at 10-15 mmHg is also acceptable (Table 1). 6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] There are currently nine case reports and seven case series in the literature, including 32 cases that described LC (Table 1). Of the 42 total cases (including the presented case), only one case (2.4%) converted to open surgery.…”

“…This case further supports the usefulness of laparoscopic approach for avoiding driveline injury in patients with LVADs. There are currently three case reports [35] and three case series including four to six cases [68] (Table 1) on laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with an LVAD. There were no cases of conversion to open surgery or critical intraoperative complications.…”

“…When a significant amount of intra-abdominal adhesions from previous abdominal procedures is encountered, the surgeon may still have to convert to laparotomy for easier access. [ 63 ] Whatever the surgical decision, the surgical team must be mindful of the potential precarious intraoperative hemodynamic state of the patient and that duration and manipulation of viscera during surgery will affect intraoperative and postoperative cardiopulmonary function and abdominal organ perfusion.…”
