Abstract
The Thoratec VAD can be placed in small patients with large hearts that can accommodate the available cannulas. The Berlin Heart and the Medos VAD have a selection of ventricles with small stroke volumes. All 3 systems can be used successfully in the pediatric population as BTT with better survival than with ECMO.
