Pericardial release for early LVAD malalignment a less invasive approach

In a previously well-functioning LVAD, pericardial release via thoracotomy may improve inflow angle and correct malpositioning to ultimately restore LVAD function and patient hemodynamics. To prevent this, we recommend that implantations include a longitudinal pericardiotomy and anchoring sutures.
