Abstract
Myocardial recovery in patients with left ventricular assist devices is a rare event. Surgical explantation remains a risky and challenging procedure. Alternative percutaneous techniques could represent an effective solution. This report describes the clinical use of a Watchman closure device (Boston Scientific Corp, Marlborough, MA) in deactivation of a HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL).
