摘要
We report a case of intracardiac thrombus in a patient supported by the Jarvik 2000 Flowmaker (R) successfully treated with a single dose of peripherally administered TNK-tissue plasminogen activator (Tenecteplase, Metalyse (R), Boehringer Ingelheim). This strategy may be considered in the case of life-threatening VAD associated thrombosis to avoid the need for intracardiac drug delivery or VAD replacement. We also discuss the apparent increased thrombotic risk in patients receiving a VAD for chemotherapy induced cardiomyopathy and the implications this may have for the choice of VAD.
