Abstract
LVAD was indicated in 4 patients for CPB weaning and in one patients for LOS after acute myocardial infarction. Two patients could wean off from LVAD, however two patients died of MOF and one patient died of bleeding. Clinical evaluation of these cases suggested that total cardiac index should be maintained more than 2.5l/min/m2 during LVAD assistance, and renal function was very important to prevent from falling MOF.
