[ISPHLT-KL5] Current status and future aspect of pediatric mechanical circulatory support

Iki Adachi (Congenital Heart Surgery, Texas Children's Hospital / Baylor College of Medicine, United States of America)

The last decade has witnessed substantial growth and maturation in the field of pediatric mechanical circulatory support, particularly with ventricular assist device (VAD). This presentation will describe the changes that have occurred over the last decade in North America. These would include introduction of implantable continuous-flow VADs in children and modern anticoagulation strategies, both of which have led to significant outcome improvement. The presentation will then be transitioned to discussion on the future direction of the field of pediatric mechanical circulatory support. The topic to be covered would include novel device strategies, new devices currently being tested or those on the horizon, such as the Infant Jarvik 2015.
