Lessons Learned from Managing Antithrombotic Therapy in Children Supported with Pediatric Ventricular Assist Devices
Stroke, thromboembolism, and bleeding are the most recognized complications associated with pediatric ventricular assist devices (VADs) and the leading cause of death and disability on VAD support. Recently, newer antithrombotic strategies like bivalirudin have emerged that appear to be associated with a reduction in the neurologic event rates, especially for smaller pediatric-specific VADs like the Berlin Heart and PediMag/CentriMag systems where the risk of stroke is the highest. While contemporary antithrombotic therapies have likely contributed to lowering adverse event rates, we speculate that clotting and bleeding ad...
