RESUMEN
Biventricular assist devices (BiVADs) using the CentriMag™ system are being used increasingly as a form of short-term mechanical circulatory support for the treatment of acute cardiogenic shock from any aetiology. They can be used as a bridge to decision, recovery or transplantation. BiVADs are associated with better clinical outcomes when compared to veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) systems. In this paper, we describe a safe and reproducible method of BiVAD implantation using the CentriMag™ system at our institution.
