Neurological Complications and Outcomes in the Berlin Heart EXCOR(R) Pediatric Investigational Device Exemption Trial Pediatric Cardiology
Conclusions
Of children treated with the Berlin Heart EXCOR® device as a bridge to transplant, 29% experienced at least 1 neurological event. The majority of neurological events were ischemic strokes, and many of those occurred early in the course of support. Neurological injury was the leading cause of death after implantation of the Berlin Heart EXCOR® device. Risk stratification for stroke or neurological injury is not possible based on baseline preimplantation characteristics.
