当院は愛知県の北東部に位置し,岐阜県東濃地域と県境を有する春日井市にある350床の民間病院である.徳洲会グループの病院であり,救急を中心とした第一線病院である.1998年に心臓血管外科を開設し,救急診療に重きをおきながら大動脈瘤や心筋梗塞を含む心臓大血管手術を実施し,地域医療に貢献してきた.現在では年間手術総数約1,000例(開心術約300例)で12名のスタッフを有し,循環器内科とともに経カテーテル的大動脈弁留置術(TAVI),MitraClip(Abbott社),ロボット支援下心臓手術などの高度心臓手術を行う病院となった.さまざまな症例に対応する中で,左室補助人工心臓(LVAD)の施設基準を取得し,貴重な経験を積むことができた.本稿では,当院における植込み型補助人工心臓治療の歴史と今後の展望について述べる.
Our hospital is a 350-bed private institution located in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture. In 1998, we established a cardiovascular surgery department, and in 2006, we began performing surgeries to implant extracorporeal left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). In 2007, we urgently installed an extracorporeal LVAD (left atrial drainage and aortic blood return) for a patient experiencing acute heart failure exacerbation following mitral valve replacement (MVR) due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Under LVAD support, the patient was able to achieve mobility and oral intake. Based on this achievement, our hospital was certified as a facility authorized to perform implantable LVAD procedures in 2012. In June 2013, we performed the first implantable LVAD surgery in the Tokai region for a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy following redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and extracorporeal LVAD implantation. To date, we have conducted a total of four implantable LVAD surgeries. None of these cases involved complications such as surgical site infections. One of the patients successfully lived a normal life for five years before undergoing heart transplantation at another hospital.
