Implantation of a Left Ventricular Assist Device for Danon Cardiomyopathy.
We present two cases of successful implantation of an LVAD for Danon cardiomyopathy. Patient 1 was in the dilatated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with Danon cardiomyopathy, and she underwent LVAD implantation. She is waiting for transplantation. Patient 2 had dilatated cardiomyopathy with Danon cardiomyopathy and received transplantation 990 days after LVAD implantation without myopathy or intellectual disability.
