Although rare, recovery of cardiac function after mechanical support of the left ventricle is the most desirable therapeutic goal in the treatment of end-stage heart failure.Herein, we present a novel implantable device for explantation of the HeartMate 3™ left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in patients, following cardiac recovery, avoiding (re-) sternotomy.This article demonstrates the feasibility of applying this novel device, which fits into the sewing ring of the LVAD.This custom-made mechanical plug offers a promising alternative to standard device-explantation procedures.
